The graphs show % of people who think it is "essential" to live in a democracy by the decade they were born in.
Is there a logical conclusion of this?

Probably just more a case for people taking it for granted more nowadays.
I'd conclude that ever larger sections of 'western' society don't quite understand what democracy means nor are they bothered to find out.Quote:

I think most of the Brexit and Trump supporters are wrong - but for a lot of them they thought they were 'taking back' something and claim they were reclaiming democracy from faceless bureaucrats, civil servants, commissions, experts or 'the liberal elite'. Their profile was older, whiter and less educated - although not the poorest. The 'remain' and 'Clinton' campaigns picked up a much higher proportion of the under 40s - including those 20 somethings above. It is a bit of a surprise to me that the people who seem to want to be led by authoritarian right wing populists may value 'democracy' more than the people who defend inclusion, pluralism and liberal values (even if the figureheads for that view are as rich and corrupt as the other lot!).
