No it doesn't.

"What the people want" != democracy.
"specific popular (or unpopular) polices" != democracy
"specific policies passed by direct election" != democracy
"specific policies passed by a vote of elected representatives" != democracy.

Democracy is an attribute of the overall system, not of any policies it decides on (unless you count letting people vote as a policy).
