No form of government can perfectly reflect society, but democracy allows compromise between different groups or classes whose interest’s conflict.
It also allows freedom of expression so that people can voice dissention with the government without fear of persecution, as would be the case in a dictatorship.
Hence the party electoral system, where the parties representing different interests compete for power in regular elections.
