There is no Democracy in Europe. In order to have a Democracy you have to have free speech so that ideas can be freely exchanged with the good ideas beating out the bad ones at the ballot box. In Europe, speech is controlled by hate speech laws and government censorship thus the vote is also controlled and thus elections are not free thus there is no Democracy in Europe. This lack of Democracy is coming to a head in Germany where the rising AfD party is being spied on and physically assaulted by the German secret police controlled by the ruling coalition lead by the SPD.

America is also experiencing similar problems of censorship and hate speech laws, the difference is in America censorship and hate speech laws are banned by the First Amendment and thus there's at least a chance that the Supreme Court can restore Democracy. In Europe, there is no hope of Democracy being restored because there is no legal protection of the freedom of speech.
