"Trust the people" was of course a phrase he inherited from his father. I can't disagree with that phrase -it's probably the best succinct _expression_ of true democracy ever written (or spoken? - assistance please !!)
The true test of democracy is not how you get the scum in - it's how you get them out. WSC always knew it was by a fair vote. That's why he supported British democracy even when it turned against him. He knew he'd have a fair shake next time around.
