Yet almost all governments claim to be democratic including China, Russia and Syria. And 50 years after the abolition of hanging, UK polls still show a majority in favour.

Author of The Establishment Owen Jones, ResPublica director and author of Radical Republic Phillip Blond, and conservative politician Charlotte Leslie examine the strange perils of democracy.\n
