If a political party announces that, if its representatives are elected, it will impose harsh punishments for certain crimes and undertake various policy measures designed to promote a specific religion, and they are elected in a free and fair election, and they impose those punishments and undertake those measures, am I not living in a democracy?

What if the moment those elected in immediately decide to deny half the population - say all women - of not only the right to vote, but the ability to drive and to read.
It may still be a "democracy" - but it sure isnt what (I think) you deem a "Democracy"
