A truly free and diverse media is an answer, currently it's not, it's the problem. Completely free & full education is another answer as educated people think and then ask questions.
Seperation of powers, government and the judiciary is another answer.
If you dont have these, you're not a democracy.

Good morning.
A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.
That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.
Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

It is larger in every other European country that also have ID than the UK.
