Was it not Winston Churchill who defined Democracy - when comparing it to Totalitarianism - as "... by far the lesser of two evils ...."?

I feel that the great beauty of (so-called) 'democracy' is that it isn't, cannot be, never is and never will be ideal. That's what it has always been about, a constant, ever-changing, consensus.

It allows (or should...) evolution of values.

When it doesn't ... it's usually because anti-democratic processes are trying to take control .... which is why you must always keep your eyes peeled!
