Who has the power in democracy

how did they get their power

how did they keep their power

what is the role of an individual in the government

Those with the power in democracy are arguable the individuals who are elected in a representative democracy or those that are in the majority in a strict definition of democracy. They keep their power by remaining in the majority position on issues that are important to them or continuing to be elected. And the role of the individual in a strict democracy is not very important because it is the collective that has greater strength than the individual but an individual can still vote to influence democracy.
