All other 'implied' meanings are attributed to democracy by illiterate politicians and their even more illiterate followers.
and it's enough to have formed humanistic socially oriented national policy if that's what the majority wants and what the politicians are able to provide
under other types of political system what the majority wants isn't taken into consideration

There are other democracies as well (Pakistan, Lebannon, Mexico... lol even Greece - the most 'prosperous' country in the EU) and they're not going to be any wealthier than they are now in the nearest future. Economic well-being of the country has nothing to do with democracy.
and i don't, in my post i didn't conditioned one by the other i just combined them, clearly if there weren't any undemocratic countries as wealthy as the Western or wealthier yet my argument about emigration from the West wouldn't make sense
