In a year of elections, why is there a ‘Democracy Paradox’?
More than 60 elections are taking place in 2024 and, whilst 90 per cent of people say they want to live in a democracy, many are voting for people and systems that are restricting their rights.
The UN has expressed concern about this “democracy paradox”, and that fact that some governments and governance systems are becoming increasingly repressive.
Conor Lennon from UN News discusses the issue with Sarah Lister, the Head of Governance at the UN Development Programme, and Iain Walker, the CEO of newDemocracy.
