"the greatest argument against democracy is a conversation with the average voter"
This is some quote from an ancient Greek right? Socrates, Pericles et cetera?
It's one of the many often attributed to Winston Churchill, though to my knowledge there's no actual evidence of him actually saying it and his other writings go against the sentiment. I don't know who actually did say it first
It was me. Winston and I were tying one on and I said it in passing. He thought it was hilarious.
