As a believer in democracy - and as someone who was on the winning side of the Brexit referendum - Geoff Norcott generally believes that if we, the people, vote for something, that thing should happen. But are there limits to Geoff's belief in populism, as this is now generally called?

For example, every opinion poll shows that if there were to be a referendum on the death penalty, it would be brought back, despite the fact that there's no evidence it works. In America the individual right to an abortion has been taken away from women "democratically" in some states, something Geoff views as abhorrent (not to mention unconservative). And there's little doubt that if every new building had to have democratically approved, the United Kingdom would never build another house ever again.

Join Geoff as he works out if he - and you - actually have democratic principles at heart, or if they just like the world to be arranged the way they like it, no matter how inconsistent that might be.
