Have you see Yes Prime Minister "Power to the People"?
The system is designed to serve itself. Protests might get some minor changes at the edges, but nothing to alter what it does.
This is also one of my favourites, I even had to reference to it in one of my essays because it is straight to the point.

Re: how self-evident is democracy?
Slightly off-topic, I was reading this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11609887
The only party not supporting any form of reform is the Conservatives and "New Labour"-wing of the Labour party (both right-wing).
The only party wanting a less democratic version of the vote is the BNP (Party-list). (extreme right)
Everyone else says "AV is okay.. but STV is the best and most democratic", so they are pro-change, hoping for a slipperly slope where we become more democratic.
I support STV, but i am going to vote "yes" on the referendum as AV is clearly the better alternative to FPTP.
