Answer:
(i) Yes, this cartoon could be applied to China, because there
is one party rule in China. Before contesting elections, a candidate needs the
approval of the Chinese communist party. So China cannot be said fo be a
true democracy.
Mexico has a multiparty system. Nationally there are three
large political parties, viz, Institutional Revolutionary Party (IRP), National
Action Party (NAP), and Party of the Democratic Revolution (PDR). But until 2000
every election was won by the PRI. The PRI was known to use many dirty tricks
to to win elections. So the cartoon can be applied to Mexico until 2000
election. But in 2006,
election the PRI fell to third place behind both the PAN
and the PRD. Now Mexico has a coalition government.
(ii) Crown of leaves means a circle of leaves that is worn
on somebody's head as a sign of victory.
The cartoon signifies that democracy has won
in some of the countries of the world, but it is
not accepted by all.
