the root of this is poverty unfortunately, not the people. They are not the problem.

I’m terms of real gdp per capita, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India is richer than the US was when it had been a stable multiparty democracy for more than half a century already. You know what was poor? Utah when the Mormons first got there. Hostile wasteland, not like Bangladesh where fish jump out of ponds into your pot. But look what they managed to do with land nobody wanted.

Maybe you can invite British Queen back.

No, I disagree, I don't know where you get your number from, I couldn't find anything to support your argument. I don't believe anything about GDP anyway. For rich country, GDP means how much they can rob; for poor countries, GDP is how many slaves you have. Poverty is a downward cycle unfortunately, democracy is not going to help with anything.
