| rdfs:label | - Democracy (Judge Dredd storyline)
|
| rdfs:comment | - Democracy in the fictional future city of Mega-City One has been a significant recurring theme in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. In particular, a number of stories published since 1986 have addressed the issue of the Judges' dictatorial system of government, and efforts by the citizens to re-establish democracy. Besides being a notable story arc in itself, the "Democracy" stories also had wider repercussions which led directly to the events depicted in the story "Necropolis". All of the stories in the "Democracy" arc were written by Wagner or under his direction.

| Alt | - Two images side-by-side. In the left panel Dredd stands before the chief judge's desk: his speech bubble reads "Does that include EXCEEDING the law?" In the right panel the chief judge sits behind the desk, with his hands clasped before him, replying: "I want this movement crushed, Dredd. On this one you WRITE the law."
- Dredd standing upright, viewed from the thighs up. He says "I'm tendering my resignation. I request permission to take the Long Walk."
- Dredd with a stern expression, with his speech bubble saying "I'll do anything to protect this city against dangerous fools like you."
- Two judges sitting on motorbikes, talking. Judge Grice is a white man with a brown moustache . Grice is saying "The man's mad! He'll plunge this city into chaos - anarchy! For the good of everyone he has to be removed. Then we can stop this referendum nonsense before it gets out of hand. Swaze - you said someone in Central Control is with us? I want you to get on to him." The second judge replies "Her."

| abstract | - Democracy in the fictional future city of Mega-City One has been a significant recurring theme in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. In particular, a number of stories published since 1986 have addressed the issue of the Judges' dictatorial system of government, and efforts by the citizens to re-establish democracy. Besides being a notable story arc in itself, the "Democracy" stories also had wider repercussions which led directly to the events depicted in the story "Necropolis". The stories include "America," which is regularly voted by fans in polls as the best Dredd story ever written, and is Dredd creator John Wagner's favourite Judge Dredd story. Editor David Bishop called it "the best Judge Dredd story ever written." The first Democracy story, "Letter From a Democrat," is co-writer Alan Grant's favourite Dredd story. All of the stories in the "Democracy" arc were written by Wagner or under his direction.
