What makes a government a non-democratic government?

Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Democracy allows eligible citizens to participate equally—either directly or through elected representatives—in the proposal, development, and creation of laws. It encompasses social, economic and cultural conditions that enable the free and equal practice of political self-determination. The unsatisfied steps of a government make it non-democratic when there has been on consultation with the people and elected representatives. When a government does not discuss its country's affairs in assembly and when it makes decisions without taking into account the opinion of its parliament, it is also acting in an undemocratic manner. Members of a government are chosen by a nation through election. The government should fulfill the hopes of its nation.
