Thanks to extreme process-as-punishment measures, many people have suffered greatly for defying this ban, even if they have not been convicted, or will now have their convictions quashed.
It all points to a very grim conclusion: democracy in the UK is being stifled.

The Elections Bill is really very thin on political finance.
Some loopholes closed, some warm words, but still unlimited political donations.

Reading more on this, Switzerland doesn’t have a Prime Minister.
It's ruled by a 7-member council called the Bundesrat. And while it technically has a President of the council, they're seen as just first among equals.
Oh, and the current President is a man!
He lives in his own little dreamworld.
