Question

Give one example of a unitary state which is democratic.

Answer 1

The United Kingdom (UK) is a prime example of a unitary state that is democratic. It has a single central government that holds supreme authority, and although local governments exist, they operate under powers delegated by the central government. At the same time, the UK follows the principles of liberal democracy; it has free and fair elections, a representative parliament, the rule of law, and protection of civil liberties.
