Does a democracy really need more protection for politicians…
or more transparency and oversight of their power?
Isn't a parliamentary inquiry the more appropriate response than trying to legally stifle criticism?

Trans women did the work of exposing far right networks building on earlier far right studies. It was good enough to form the basis of an EU parliamentary report. A trans woman also went undercover and leaked Project 2025. Cadwalladr lifted all this, removed the transphobia, and never credited us.

Proposal: The Shah returns to Iran and establishes a democratic parliamentary monarchy there, and in return, the king returns to America and introduces constitutional reform there. It certainly can't hurt if the country is ruled by a prime minister who has less power than a president.

Labour manufacturing consent for an invasion of Europe. I’m sick of calling this government “spineless”. They are committing genocide, supporting the US regime, and caving to Reform *because they want to*. they have a huge parliamentary majority, and have used to advance the cause of the far right.

But in a mature parliamentary system, "leading the party to electoral defeat" is one of the all time classic reasons that a PM gets the boot from their own party.
Again, this makes more sense in a system where Trump is a member of the house. I don't really know how semi-presidential systems work
