In a REAL democracy, if they want to raise taxes - Everyone votes. And if the majority voted yes, they raise taxes. If the majority vote no, they don't.
The UK is not a real democracy. It's a Parliamentary Democracy. People vote for their member of Parliament. Then if they want to raise taxes, you do not vote. Only the members of Parliament vote.
The US is not a real democracy. It's a Democratic Republic. Americans vote for the President, and their members of Congress and the Senate. Americans do not vote on raising taxes or anything else. Either Congress or the Senate vote. Or the President decides. Depending on the situation.
