Poll: What is more important to you democracy or the state of the economy

[noname223]

In the US citizens chose economy seemingly.

For me it is Democracy.

I imagine both are important. If half the population is starving, I'm not sure they value being able to vote if that won't bring them the essentials they need to live. Not that I'm that wise on politics but I imagine it's populations who are struggling financially that will vote dictators in because they promise them a return to prosperity. I think people will give up their liberty if it means they don't starve to death. We're probably mostly privelaged on here in that the majority of us may not have known starvation or constant cold or fear of losing shelter. (Some will of course and- that must be terrible.)
