' Can Democracy Survive ? '—XI

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

The Rt. Hon. Lord EUSTACE PERCY
LAST week Lord Eustace Percy considered how much use it is patching up compromises in the present state of political affairs. The other possible solution is to react violently against the politics of rigidity and compromise ; and that is what Communism and Fascism have done. The question is whether dictatorships of this kind offer a real prospect of a fresh start. Have wo anything to learn from them ? These experiments have one feature in common : the conception that citizenship involves definite sacrifices. This conception, if revived, might perhaps mean abandoning the British tradition of representative government. This last point forms the subject of Lord Eustace Percy 's last talk in this series next week.
