Sabiedrība zaudē ticību demokrātijai, apgalvo Britu Parlamenta loceklis Rorijs Stjuarts. Irākas un Afganistānas jaunās demokrātijas ir dziļi korumpētas, tajā pat laikā 84 procenti cilvēku Lielbritānijā apgalvo,ka politika ir sabrukusi. Šajā svarīgajā runā, Stjuarts dod signālu rīcībai, lai pārbūvētu demokrātiju, sākot ar apzināšanos, kāpēc demokrātija ir svarīga — nevis kā rīks, bet gan kā ideāls.

Rorijs Stjuarts: Kāpēc demokrātijai ir nozīme

Professor, former Member of Parliament, UK

Democracy is facing a crisis of confidence, with 84 percent of people in Britain saying politics is broken and new democracies from Iraq to Afghanistan riddled with corruption and disappointment. The promise that elections alone would bring prosperity and peace has failed in many places. Yet, the core value of democracy is not the results it delivers, but the dignity and equal voice it grants each person. Rebuilding faith in democracy means embracing honesty from politicians and active engagement from citizens.
