The Dangers of Democracy to Individual Rights and Freedoms | TPM #5

In this week’s episode, Wayne Baker speaks with Dr. Grahame Booker about the dangers of democracy. Originally from Sydney, Australia, Grahame has lived in Canada most of his life working as a teacher. He holds a PhD in political philosophy from the University of Waterloo and is the author of "Coercion, Authority and Democracy: Towards an Apolitical Order." Currently retired, Grahame lives in Stratford with his wife.

IN THIS WEEK'S EPISODE:

• Should government have any more authority than an individual?

• Dr. Booker's reaction to Winston Churchill’s famous quote on democracy.

• Why a constitutional democracy is only as good as its constitution.

• What essential roles should the government execute?

• How and why politicians often follow the orders of bureaucrats rather than voters.

• Why Dr. Booker believes the COVID-19 pandemic was a hoax.

• The problems, dangers and limitations of green energy as we currently utilize it.

• The difference between compulsion and charity.

• How globalist elites are using altruism to inspire us into abject poverty.

Grahame explains why government is not the solution to the world’s problems and how keeping it as small as possible is in the people’s best interest.
