Welcome to How To Save Democracy, a new podcast that aims to heal society’s broken relationship with democracy. Join us – Omezzine Khelifa, Jon Alexander, and our producer Jo Barratt – as we hold the space for the tough conversations we need to have.
We love democracy, genuinely, wholeheartedly. But it’s like a dysfunctional relationship. Democracy today is full of flaws. It’s not “by the people, for the people” anymore. There are resentments and frustrations and anger, and we can’t go on like this. We want to make this relationship work though. It’s a long term thing, it’s valuable, we need to work through this. We need to have the tough conversations, and that’s what we are doing on this podcast.
