To defend democracy we must recognise its limits. Its most fundamental limit is that we cannot make our representatives act how we would like them to, nor do we have much incentive to do so. While our current democratic institutions are not perfect models for liberty or even democratic equality, nor is rule by experts.
Democracy is more than just parliaments and campaigns and voting. It is an assertion that we all have the right to an equal stake in our political order. It is a shame few politicians and bureaucrats agree. – Chris Berg
