Abstract

On June 23, 2016, British voters decided to leave the European Union. The article argues that this vote was a normal risk for democracy. However, while education for democracy is a key task for the future of Europe as well as the future of the United Kingdom, democratic education in John Dewey’s sense of the word cannot minimize the risks of political campaigns. The broader task of modern democracy is thus the education of citizens who are responsible for their votes.
