Well, by the strictest definition, democracy is rulership by the people, in which case you are absolutely right. The common definition, however, is rulership by the majority, which is what I was talking about.
The problem is that there are significant numbers of people in both camps. The obscure word "psephocracy" is available to describe ruling by ballots.
