We could talk semantics here, but the phrase "aspires" also means it's not there yet. "Quasi" also has a meaning that seems to be the opposite of your statement.

2. Semantics aside: This is not a democratic forum. And as such I am really happy with that. It relieves me from a certain amount of responsability. For if we were to decide "democraticaly" about anything here, it would also mean that each and everyone of us members (being part of the democratic equation) has to be well informed. Any other way of making a decision is nonsens for it can not be based on arguments and facts.
Democracy is not about being well-informed... Look at some situations when the society is informed very late or even after everything is already done. Look at ACTA for example.

Quasi means here that it's not the democracy we know from the politics. Aspires - wants.
