My friend joto la jiwe you are simply mistaking your unity and politeness for democracy,now here is the thing,let me dig a little deeper.Democracy is only one element coexisting in a social fabric of many and varied institutions,political parties,organasitions and associations.this diversity is called pluralism and its assumes that many organized groups and institutions in a democratic society do not depend upon government for their existence,legitimacy or authority,for instance in Tz CCM is government and government is CCM,it is the order of the day.its machinery and state capture is too deep and entrenched to tolerate dissidence.your opposition is practically dead and voiceless,civil society is non existant,civil liberties ,labour unions are tightly choked and whiped to shape..but take a look at kenya its the exact replica,protests are the order of the day,our nurses are at it again,our constitutional court is about to decriminalize lgbt activities,heck we even overturned a presidential election..do you still need more proof.look,thousands of private organizations operate in a democratic society,some local,some national,many of them serve a mediating role between individuals and the complex social and government institutions of which they are part,filling roles not given to the government and offering individuals to exercise their rights and responsibilities as citizens of a democracy.these groups represents the interest of their members in a variety of ways by sipporting candidates for public office,debating issues and trying to influence policy decesions.through such groups individuals have an avenue for meaningful participation both in government and their own communities ,,,nuff said
