Disadvantages of Liberal democracy

Question

We are doing a debate on "Liberal form Of Democracy Is Better That Classical Form Of Democracy". I just want some critical disadvantages of Liberal Democracy because we are on the opposition

Answer 1

Great question!  Without going too deep into the definitions of liberal and classical democracy, a key disadvantage of the Liberal Democracy is the reliance on the representative to meet the needs of the represented.  This is evident in the US when our representatives vote for legislation which is clearly in opposition of the represented's wishes.
