Game of Thrones

Why anyone on the face of westeros would want democracy though?

It just doesn't come out like that, it's an idea who has to grow, mind sets have to change. You don't go somewhere who hasn't already a democratic culture and just impose it. (as recent history has shown)

The election of Lord Commander is a democratic progress. So it isn’t like the concept is new to them, they are just power hungry feudal lords who want to stay in power and see the common folk as livestock, hence why they were compared to dogs and horses.

People are idiots. Given the chance they'd have voted the High Sparrow in as King.
