Do something about the causes instead of making up laws to silence them. Your problem is solved . Do you really think that banning a party will make their grievances and concerns disappear??

Without coverage hyperventilating about the right DW would struggle to cover the news at all.

Why let the people decide who rules the country when you can rule using the courts.

That is the right step. Poland showed how dangerous it is to leave the cort without protection.

Yes you definitely need to shield the state and elites from the will of the people.

[TraumaBondi]

To protect democracy we need to limit the populations ability to express itself politically.
