Great interview with @DavidDeutschOxf citing the GREAT Karl Popper
Democracy is not about ELECTIONS
It is about the ability to remove rulers and policies without violence.
The more a system is conducive to that, the more it is democratic.

The ability to remove rulers and policies is far more important than choosing the right one. Because we can not know in advance what the impact of a ruler or policy will behttps://youtu.be/xdtssXITXuE?t=255 …

In a proportional representation system - the population might start to lean further left - and a moderate right wing government would then have to build a coalition with more extreme right swing, and thus swing government and policy in opposite direction. Or vice versa.

Hot take - Britain was the only place Socialism was ACTUALLY tried and didn't lead to permanent damage Because of culture of criticism / trying things / and ability to remove bad policies and leadershttps://youtu.be/xdtssXITXuE?t=1157 …
