democracy

Democracy needs to show that it is capable of providing public goods for a wide range of people. And I think in places where democracy risks deteriorating, people who are in favour of democracy need to unite to defend democracy and not fight amongst themselves

The new division seems to organise the most important political processes, from the election in Greece through the neo-imperial leap of Russia to the formation of the Islamic State

Serious concerns are justified, but the cry "this is authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship!" should be used only in the most dangerous moments. Otherwise it stops working, just as it happened in Poland
