Was that supposed to be a reference to Churchill’s statement?

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

I doubt there is any implication that autocracy is better; although certainly democracy per se is easily manipulated by autocrats and authoritarians.

We were taught that in school straight out with no reference to any person.

This country isn’t a democracy, never has been and hopefully never will be!!
