Was the British Empire much more democratic than the German Empire in 1913?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

The United Kingdom itself was obviously a legitimate democracy, Germany was not. The empire wasn't democratic, but at least they hadn't committed genocide in the previous 10 years like Germany had

The Boers will like to say hello.

Not denying that the treatment of the Boers was abhorrent, but it's stretching the definition very far to call it a genocide

I wasn't saying if I thought that counts as genocide. My point is that holding up the British as morally superior doesn't make sense. There was really nothing out of the ordinary with what Germany did in its colonies... it was the general European attitude back in the day.
