A short, sharp intervention in the crucial debate about the future of democracy, which has been brought to a head by events from Brexit to the Trump phenomenon.

We live in strange days in the history of democracy.

Every serious politician in the Western world supports democracy. Yet when the EU Referendum and American Elections both delivered the 'wrong' result, elites challenged the merit of the people's will, and some even tried to block it. Preferring unelected institutions, from technocrats to the courts, self-appointed higher minds questioned whether voters are fit to be trusted with their own futures. Ours is the age of "I support democracy, but..."

And yet the answer will never be to impose limitations. Popular democracy must offer better choices, rather than removing choice altogether. It's time to defend democracy and fight for more it, with no ifs, buts or backtracks.

Mick Hume's REVOLTING! is a top choice for those interested in political ideologies and the future of democracy. It is a bestseller in the field of political science, challenging the notion that voters are unfit to be trusted with their own futures.

For fans of David Sedgwick (Is That True Or Did You Hear It On The BBC?), David Goodhart (The Road to Somewhere), Laura Dodsworth (A State of Fear), Konstantin Kisin (An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West), and Steven E. Koonin (Unsettled).
