"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter"
- Winston Churchill
About this Quote
This quote by Winston Churchill is a criticism of democracy and the average voter. Churchill is suggesting that the typical citizen is not well-informed or educated enough to make informed decisions about politics. He thinks that if one were to have a discussion with the average voter, it would be clear that they do not have the understanding or understanding to make choices that remain in the best interest of the nation. Churchill's quote is a suggestion that democracy is only as strong as the people who are voting, and if the average voter is not educated and notified, then democracy is not working as it should.
