Political Outlooks After WWI

 Political Outlooks After WWI 

George Bernard Shaw

  Following World War I, there were many different political outlooks surrounding democracy and parliamentary government.  Some of which were strongly supported by George Bernard Shaw, who believed that "democracy substituted the rule of the incompetent many for that of the corrupt few."  People like Shaw believed that the ancient Greek god Plato was in fact correct in his writings of the Republic.  Plato concluded in this writing that democracy was a "charming form of government" and had no place in society.  This theory lead to the impressions that democracy and parliamentary government had run their coarse since none of them had brought about peace, but instead the Great War itself.
