      Churchill is saying that democracy is the best form of government in the quote. He is just saying it in a funny way.

        I think this guy gets it but is focusing in on “apart from all others.” Its an exclusive absolute statement that really shouldn’t be applied other than in a joking sense.

      It’s ok. It requires a reading and comprehension level above 5th Grade so it can be difficult for some to understand subtle nuances and phrases such as “apart from” and “the”.
