DEMOCRACY AFTER THE DECISION
What happens after democracy makes a decision?
Elections end. Laws are passed. Governments move on. But who asks whether those decisions actually worked?
In the first feature of DT500 MAG’s new series Democracy After the Decision, critic Arthur Sopin speaks with Franklin De Vrieze, Head of Practice Accountability at Westminster Foundation for Democracy, about what happens after the vote and the legislation.

It is about what happens when we discover we got them wrong.
