Why democracy failed. It sounds awful, and perhaps a bit self-certain. I could’ve at least ameliorated it. Instead of stating Why Democracy Failed I could’ve asked, Has Democracy Failed?
But keep in mind, every time you see a news headline ending with a question mark, the answer is invariably “no”. It’s just that the so-called journalist who wrote the piece didn’t have the guts to put her/his name there without leaving this escape hatch open.
There won’t be any question marks in this case. I’m not asking whether democracy has failed. I feel convinced that it has.
