On British Democracy, Mark Easton, BBC

An opinion piece: Has British democracy let its people down? Mark Easton, BBC Home Editor

"Far from providing the stability and legitimacy it promises, our peculiar democratic system has served to expose and deepen social divides.

It has contrived to leave our country perilously vulnerable at a critical moment in its history.

Rather than seeking to close down critical challenge of our form of democracy, we need a serious and urgent conversation about how we can improve matters".
