“Democracy,” said Churchill, “is the worst form of government — except for all those others.”

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

But you’ll be glad to know that the spring collection of The People Have Spoken, a clothing line out of Canada, inspires a bit more confidence.

Try the long-waisted blue halter — great on its own or with the cropped pants. The Phoenix-print top with a dramatic neckline is comfortably sexy. The pink, Grecian-inspired dress is special in that casual-enough-for-every-day way that’s sure to meet with your approval — and that of others.

Looks like it’s unanimous.
