What an effing joke. NO it was not a modern democracy -- how many voting rights did the average peasant have? -- and NO I am not a revisionist.
Too bad the correct answer is not listed on this so-called "poll".
I regard Britain as having become the imperfect-but-what-were-you-expecting democracy we are today in 1928, and having been close for a while before. To be honest I have an embarrassing ignorance of American history and couldn't tell you when women got the vote in different states, but I wouldn't call America a democracy before civil rights.
