The correct spelling is 'manner', Noir. Comprehensive education standards (system introduced by Labour, several decades ago) working well for you, there ?
As to your points:
1. I'm curious. Are you aware of a society, anywhere, lacking an alphabet ?
Dictatorships DO tend to be as 'alphabet rich' as democracies, Noir !! I really don't see how you can advance your case on that point.
2. Yes. Democratic votes do show consensus, by their very nature (unless the vote is too close to achieve an outright decision, that is). A consensus agreed by a majority .. it's hard to imagine anything better ... ??
Noir, these are so obscure points you're making - compared to the subject of the thread - that I'm wondering if you're trying to derail the thread ?
If so ... please explain WHY you have that intention ....
