Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried.
In a speech in the House of Commons on 11 November 1947, Winston Churchill said:
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

Criticizing the government is not a crime, and I have never seen an example (at least in modern times) of one being arrested for having an opinion on the government. So, in order for me to give anymore of a legitimate answer, you will have to provide me with an example of someone being arrested for nothing more than expressing their opinion.
