Sweden = a Democracy - No I don't think so~

Sweden is supposed to be a DEMOCRATIC country but it doesn't feel like it.
Now the government wants to implement the "FRA" law, Basically you can't download and so on...
Last year they implemented the first step of this law.. BUT did they ask for an opinion from the people?
NO, they did NOT!

Therefore I do wonder... Do we, the people of Sweden, live in a democracy?
As for now.. obviously not!

The poltiticians ask.. why is the rate regarding downloading so high in Sweden!?
Well.. Take a look at the prices.

a CD = 26 USD
a DVD = 26-32 USD
a cinema ticket = 15 USD

Does it sound cheap to you?

In China a cd cost 1 USD, a real one - non-copied one.
AND YES they have lower salaries and so on - I'm aware of that, Still the cd in itself is the same so.. why do we have to pay so much more?
If things were cheaper do you think people would download as much as they do today?
- no, I don't think so.
However to lower the prices has NEVER a topic when talking about this problem.
Why? Well that's because the politicians earn so much that they never have to think about the prices. or they send the bill to all tax-payers... What can I say.. Way to go?
