This week we discussed about democracy.

A democracy is a kind of government.. A democracy is a system where people are able to decide how their country or community should be run.

The most common type of democracy is representative democracy, where people elect their leaders who decide the laws. Elections are usually held every few years. When they happen, whoever gets the most votes will end up with the most power, until the next election.

An important part of representative democracy is political parties. Politicians belong to a political party, an organisation of politicians with similar ideas on what to do. Therefore, in elections, people do not just vote for a single person, but for political parties.

There are two kinds of democracy: Direct and indirect.

In direct democracies, everyone has the right to make laws together. One modern example of direct democracy is a referendum, which is the name for the kind of way to pass a law where everyone in the community votes on it. Direct democracies are not usually used to run countries, because it is hard to get millions of people to get together all the time to make laws and other decisions. There is not enough time.

In an indirect, or representative democracy, people choose representatives to make laws for them. These people can be mayors, councilmen, members of Parliament, or other government officials. This is a much more common kind of democracy. Large communities like cities and countries use this method, but it may not be needed for a small group.

The most intresting thing happened on Friday 19th of May when Sonny the bank helper was fired.

Aravan took his job. Henry said he dosen`t want to be a polioce officer anymore so we had a vote for a new one. Sara won and she took his place.
