The Scourge of Democracy

The Scourge of Democracy – A Philosophical Discussion

With the May elections approaching, we’re reminded of Winston Churchill’s view that democracy is “the least worst” system—while Socrates famously here questioned its logic altogether: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLJBzhcSWTk

So where does that leave us?

Join us for an open and thought-provoking discussion where you can:

1. Step onto your “soapbox” and share your vision of a "better" system
2. Challenge what you find flawed or frustrating in modern governance
3. Explore whether any one form of rule can truly suit all of humanity
4. Debate whether power should rest with individuals, elected bodies, or merit-based leadership or nobody.

Whether you want to speak passionately, test ideas, or simply listen and reflect, you’ll be very welcome.
