(Speech in the House of Commons, 11 November 1947)

The quality of any government depends entirely on the human quality of it's decision makers and their ability to implement their policies. Thus we can judge any political system based on how effective it is at getting the best people to the top and preventing the worst people from being in positions of power and influence. By this criteria we can confidently say that democracy is the worst political system there ever was, and could ever be.
