He viewed that Hitler was intend on European, if not world, domination - and the eventual destruction of the Jews. He understood that Hitler had clandestinely been rearming for a number of years, and that war was almost inevitable.

The Munich pact would allow Britain to avoid an escalation of arms spending in a difficult time for the economy, but Churchill saw that if (as he suspected) Hitler had little intention of honouring it, Britain would have no chance of building its military capacity to a point where it could effectively oppose the German might in time to do so.

Chamberlain, like so many others, was disturbed by the prospect of a repetition of the Great War, barely 20yrs previously, and the wasteful loss of human lives that had scarred the nation, that he wanted desperately to find a peaceful way forward through the crisis. He viewed a negotiated settlement that would allow Britain to continue unmolested.

Hence the clash between the two men.

He didn't. If you're referring to his famous quote that "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." what he was trying to say is that democracy is deeply flawed in many respects (a majority of people can still make bad choices afterall) but it is still the best form of governance that people have yet come up with. It basically boils down to democracy aint great but the alternative is worse.
