Democracy must has will of people. So that it can be said to be democratic. In the past, Athens adopt direct democracy which is participate all of people to politics. I think that direct democracy is authentic democracy. Because direct democracy is the system that can implement the principle of self-government which can be called the essence of democracy. Realization of direct democracy in the current is not possible because of too many people. But E- democracy seems to be the solution. It can lead to the direct participation of citizens. Actually E- democracy emerged alternative of direct democracy.

Is not a democracy when viewed only meaning, now, the Republic of Korea situation that is happening in reality, I think actually everyone is watching, to see and have included national will that's really hard.
