Answer:
1The first thing we need to look at is: What form of democracy are we talking about? As there are multiple forms. Three of those are: Direct, Representative and Westminster. These three models are all various forms of democracy, that, depending on what model that’s being used, is either popular or unpopular.
The first one, direct, is not, that I’m aware of, used anywhere in the world, since it’s a rather complicated system to actually use in reality.
The second one, representative, is the most common version, that’s also the most popular, among the voters, for the simple reason that, it allows for more political views to be represented in a nations parliament. Generally, these nations sees roughly 80%+ voter turnout, although there are exceptions.
The last one, Westminster, is not that widely used (US and UK uses it), but it’s popularity is severely limited. Since 2001, the UK hasn’t been able to cross 70% voter turnout and since 1945, with the exception of 1950/51, voter turnout has been hitting roughly 75% on average, with 1950/51 hitting above 80%.
