Talking Europe:  The Will of the People, with Albert Weale
The Will of the People, with Albert Weale Democracies today are in the grip of a myth: the myth of the will of the people. New political forces use the idea to challenge elected representatives. Politicians, content to invoke the will of the people, fail in their duty to make responsible and accountable decisions. And public contest over political choices is stifled by fears that opposing the will of the people will be perceived as elitist. In this episode of our Talking Europe series, Albert Weale, Emeritus Professor of Political Theory and Public Policy, discusses the origins and uses of the notion, arguing that healthy democracies require that choices be challenged, parliaments strengthened, and political leaders called to account. In conversation with Dr Uta Staiger, UCL European Institute. More about the book: http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9781509533268.
