The article highlights a third-year PhD student at Heriot-Watt University, emphasizing their social psychological research on political ideology. Employing discursive and rhetorical approaches, the student explores the unquestioned nature of democracy in political discourse and engages with System Justification Theory, reshaping it through discursive psychology to analyze how politicians negotiate the democratic aspects of justifying or opposing systems.
