Summary: If democracy is a marketplace of ideas, Judith asks, why are people scared to say what they believe, and so willing to vote for politicians who don't?
Interesting little piece. Only one person's point of view is given here but I'm assuming it's one of an ongoing series asking the same question. Perhaps not, I don't know. The person they approached certainly sounded authoritative on the subject, almost professional. It would be interesting to hear other people's responses to the same question and perhaps cut down this one person's response to a shorter little thing. If this was one question interspersed throughout a show, I could envision this working. But it could get a little boring week after week.
