Word of the Day - Demagogue

[StarSong]

Demagogue (noun)
A person, especially a political leader, who wins support by exciting the emotions of ordinary people rather than having good or morally right ideas.

Social media and the 24 hour news cycle can make people particularly vulnerable to the magnetic sway of demagogues.

 

[Lavinia]

Presently, in Great Britain, we have one particular demagogue, who is saying what he thinks people want to hear. Let us hope the voting public have the sense to think rationally and not be deceived by his misleading statements!
