NO this what I said:
In Iran its people whom directly vote for the council and the council would monitor the Leader , if what he does is against constitution and law then he would be removed ....
Your reply:
Where have you ever seen a popular vote of the supreme council in Iran?
Just forget it and let's stay on topic..
For example prime minister in the UK is chosen by parliament not by direct vote of people but he/she would be chosen by representative of people in parliament whom were voted by people directly in an election (and later on must be approved and appointed by the queen) (
@AmirPatriot am I right?) and everyone consider it as democratic which is in contrary by what you said about its process in monarchies :
in Kingdoms it is the monarchy council of princes..and in some you have both councils..for the Sunnis it is the council of Oulama or religious scholars combined with the ruling family who chose the next king..
As you see people have no role in this process ..
In Iran
People voted to IR. then those whom were supposed to write the constitution , then they voted to the first draft of constitution and finally in the forth election they voted final draft , after that all elections such as presidential, parliamentary , city council and also council of experts have been held base upon that ...
About Leader, council of experts chosen by people directly would monitor the Leader .
Moreover people have the chance to choose the president directly that has got enough authority to make important decisions you can see differences if you compare Ahmadinejad and Rouhani eras ...
And also people would choose MPs whom pass laws and monitor the president ..
And also city council.
As you see people almost participate in all parts of government ...
Bahrain?
