I'd rather have a more limited democracy that protects people from doing fucked-up things to themselves the way we do here in America. Imagine Bush* putting things like the fourth or eight amendments up on a referendum a week after 9/11. Imagine Bush* putting a twenty-five year presidential term on himself right after the Iraq War started out. We don't have strict majority rule here, and that's good, because we have minority rights as well.

Anyways, there's no arguing with someone who's willing to defend someone about to give themselves 25 years to rule one way or another, so I might not be back for this one. But yeah, this is so how radical left-wing governments go to shit, one "necessary" measure at a time with the apologists running snarky and self-righteous commentary on the detractors at the least, beheading them and shit at the worst.
