Description

Democracy is both a lofty ideal and a humble collection of practices, institutions and dispositions. 

Dave Moscrop’s writing travels between these two poles. Moscrop brings gentleness to his judgment of individual democratic decision-makers and an urgency to the overall project of elevating our democracy.

Dave Moscrop is a commentator on politics for TV, radio and print, his writing appearing in a range of Canadian, American and British publications. His 2019 book is Too Dumb for Democracy? Why We Make Bad Political Decisions and How We Can Make Better Ones.
