Whether it's 'Veep' or 'Homeland' or 'The West Wing' - which is a more idealised version of democracy - people are fascinated by politics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a lot of division in politics, and that is why I am grateful to be a part of a show like 'Veep.' It makes light of the daunting aspects of the political world.
'West Wing' was a show about politics.
America is not just a democracy, it represents a certain culture of competitive mobility and personality aspirations, politics is not merely a clash of interests, but a clash of dreams.
Democracy is still a radical idea in a world where we often confuse images with realities, words with actions.
I think democracy is on the decline in the West. Ruling parties are the same: neo-liberalism at home and wars abroad.
I love a bit of political drama; 'The West Wing' is probably my favourite television series of all time.
The thing about democracy, beloveds, is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet. It requires a certain relish for confusion.
Democracy involves that old-fashioned thing called working it out.
Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.
Democracy doesn't recognize east or west; democracy is simply people's will. Therefore, I do not acknowledge that there are various models of democracy; there is just democracy itself.
