Certainly, as the parliament elected by the voters ultimately has the power.

By that definition there are very few non-democratic regimes in the World. It's quite easy to have one's constitution read that the People's Congress as supreme representative of the people elects the government and is the supreme source of political legitimacy.


Yeah but it kind of depends on how and under what circumstances that parliament is elected, no? I don't think anybody claims that Italy's last parliamentary election was undemocratic.
