They are a democracy in a sense that people are allowed to vote. But do people get access to all the information they need to meaningfully vote?

And, frankly, stuff like ASBO makes it hard to take UK as a good example of a free society.

Meaningfully voting requires more than just access to information though.

More information with less analysis of it will make less meaningful votes

There was lots of information about Brexit for example but a good portion of it was made up
