Chinese dissident Wu’er Kaixi, a student leader during the
pro-democracy protests in 1989, takes part in a live debate on
democracy with Stephen Sackur. The year 2015 marks 750 years
since the first Westminster parliament and 800 years since the
sealing of Magna Carta. These landmark moments underpinned the
establishment of Parliamentary democracy and the legal system in
the UK and around the world. The BBC's Democracy Day will look at
democracy past and present and encourage a debate about the
future of democracy. How democratic are we?
