Winston Churchill once said that democracy is the worst form of government... except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. 

As we witness the most powerful democracies in the world seemingly unravelling, many voices are starting to question whether democracy really is the best option we have. 

Does our vote really make a difference? Is democracy able to serve everybody? Is apathy and despair the greatest threat to democracy, or are there bigger threats lurking in the wings? 

Do we have a responsibility to vote not just for our own interests, but for the welfare of others? Should we be open to experimentation with undemocratic alternatives, or is the solution more democracy?    

Join Fellow at The Ethics Centre Dr Gwilym David Blunt and special guests to delve into the ethics of democracy. What part do we each play?
