> representative democracy can't work in a post-truth world either. Truthful public debate is a central ingredient to democracy. If you don't have that then you are severely lacking in democratic qualities. In other words, your statement is akin to saying "democracy can't work in an undemocratic environment", which is obvious. If anything then the Brexit vote shows that democracy is lacking in the UK. Not having asked the people would not have made that better though.
