en-wikipedia-org-9943		Liberal democracy - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	12482	1406	59	It is characterised by elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, a market economy with private property, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties and political freedoms for all people. A liberal democracy may take various constitutional forms as it may be a constitutional monarchy (such as Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom) or a republic (such as Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Singapore, South Korea, and the United States). Even today, some countries considered to be liberal democracies do not have truly universal suffrage as those in the United Kingdom serving long prison sentences are unable to vote, (a policy which has been ruled a human rights violation by the European Court of Human Rights).[2] Many nations require positive identification before being allowed to vote.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9943.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9943.txt
