Where the same people vent their spleen to each other while everyone else ignores them

Daily anti-Boris, anti-Tory post

Can you explain why you support the loss of democratic freedoms?

Why you think that the government should control every aspect of the electoral process and be the only judge of its legality?

I prefer to think of it as the daily pro-democracy thread.

Anyway, what is their excuse WWM2? Why do they think we need it?

Do Tory supporters still think Boris and his circus is good for their country or can they now see how he and Putin can be put in the same class ?

This could not happen in a true majority. The next government must try to reverse so much of the damage that has been done since 2015.

The government is effectively removing the Electoral commissions independence to oversee fair and democratic elections in the U.K.

The lords have voted against it.

The voters polled showed a 70% of them think that the commission should be independent.

The government will almost certainly override the lords and push through a bill that the vast majority in the country think is wrong.
