Can Italy's new government be considered "democratic"?

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Polling has shown that the Monti government is extremely popular among the Italian public. I still don't think that this government is justifiable and I believe that it goes against all democratic principles but so far the public is in favor of this undertaking. I'd imagine that these "technocrats" will be dumped in favor of elections in under 6 months or so once they become as popular as they deserve to be.

Having technocrats lead countries always seems like a novel idea until they actually get into power and have no common touch with the public that they're serving. It's also much easier to scapegoat technocrats as being "bankster tools" or whatever.
