It's unclear from the article though, does this protect politicians who haven't actually won a seat?
If it only protects those in power it's actually the reverse, since democracy is supposed to be a 'battle of ideas' to prevent physical battles, giving the winning side the upper hand would weaken the system
- zigzigzag 10y agoThere's no protection - the people who have to sign off on it are both from the ruling party. If it had been "The Prime Minister AND the leader of each party in Parliament" then you could talk about some level of protection. But as is, it's just a way to tip the playing field to the ruling government of the day.
