"Please keep you facts straight before criticising."

Please get a clue. Not that there is much of a chance of that. Socialism is an economic system. While there is a large degree of synergism between politics and economics, it isn't a requirement. Socialism does require quite a bit of central control, so a pure democracy probably won't be socialistic. But we don't have any pure democratic countries. FWIW, by definition, we don't have any pure libertarian countries either.

We do have a lot of countries with different degrees of socialism and democracy. Exactly how democratic they are versus exactly how socialistic they are has a lot to do with their size , percentage of immigrants and whether or not they have culture of helping each other.
