Published 23 October 2024

From Robert Bull, Bath, Somerset, UK

“Reimagining democracy” starts by noting that current “democracies” favour the rich. It ends by reporting that an attempt to roll out a more truly democratic model across the UK has been vetoed by government because “there is no money”. Turkeys, of course, don’t vote for Christmas (5 October, p 32).
