Greece and the bankrupted democracy IV - unity government

the unity government of Greece has been formed. one reader comment on BBC that the democracy is falling in Greece. he said when a government can choose whoever they like in the government, then the democracy is falling. but for me, in the case of Greece, they unity government is made up of most of parties in the parliament. they were chosen by the people. they are people's representatives.

but what if the representatives are turning their backs against the people's wish? perhaps they can resort to direct democracy such as shown by the Occupy movement. I've wrote about direct democracy before. may be I need to write more about direct democracy in the future.
