Certainly is. And capitalism must have growth, hence it is unstable.

Sorry Warren but that is like mixing oil and water. While parliament was a step ahead of absolute monarchy it was never intended as democracy for all. Universal suffrage was eventually won - previously people were excluded on the basis of religion, race, nationality, wealth, knowledge (ie education) and of course gender - but with the tremendous and structural disparity in wealth (=power) simply having the right to vote does not give us all an equal say in the running of the world. In my view, so long as the productive capacity of the world is in private hands we can never have true democracy. How to move towards a truly democratic system while avoiding the mistakes of the past is the really big question of our time.
