Roger Scruton on democracy after Brexit

Roger Scruton draws a comparison of those calling for a second referendum to the political behaviour of the European Union. He states 鈥渁 democracy must be held together by something stronger than politics鈥, and that a positive future for the United Kingdom is reliant on economic growth and social trust. The philosopher explains why he feels it is the ordinary people of this country who care about democracy.
