I'm trying to understand why the toys flew out the pram when I said
"democracy". Did it offend, as if to say "Hey we live in a democracy
and by implication all other countries are shite" ? I didn't mean
that. It's a very loaded word, so sorry if it "triggers". Notice I
didn't say functional democracy. I guess along with it goes a whole
slew of hidden values, like how we expect public figures to behave,
and how we expect institutions to work.
