I never really thought about democracy much until recent years. It always seemed muddled and confused.
However as I see the Far Right Wing parties gathering strength in Europe, the USA and Asia I really do fear that if they get into power by being elected they may well disregard the rule of law etc. to gain a tighter hold on power.
In fact once elected they may well use repression to knock out their political oppositions and refuse to hold new elections at the end of their term.
Churchill once famously said that democracy was a pretty poor system but no one has come up with a better one. What do you say ?

Democracy. Is it worth defending ?
