| A Government for the People 27 August 2009 |
On 21 August Richard Ekins delivered a lecture on behalf of Maxim Institute, exploring the value of representative democracy. We're often frustrated by political decisions that seem to go against the will of the nation. But according to Richard Ekins, our MPs aren't necessarily betraying us when they don't do what we want them to. Politicians aren't calculators who tally public opinion, they are people we elect and trust to work out what is best for the country.
