Democracy is neither a means to an end, or an end in itself. It's a form of government. It's not an opinion. Perhaps you meant "My opinion about democracy: is it a means to an end for me or an end to itself"

That would make more sense, but then you would not be talking about democracy, you'd be talking about your own opinion (which you're very well entitled to do)

Democracy is just a closer representation of the natural legislature of the body politic than many other forms of government. In fact, true democracies are so close that Hobbesian Law usually takes place, which is why a representative republic is much more tasty than true democracy.

BTW, there are no true democracies in the world today as far as I know. Thank goodness.
