Publisher's Synopsis
Political Tyrants of all hues have been swept to power in many Western democracies' on the back of populism, divisive rhetoric and an underlying frustration with the damning inequality which has become embedded in the modern world. This book explores the potentially fatal consequences of electing iron men demagogues and truth denying ideologues to high office and concludes that if we blindly go headlong down this route relying on a government apparatus that leaves no room for scrutiny, our votes can unintentionally end up killing us.
