Contextually, I’m not sure how well the lessons of Crimea would apply to Taiwan. Taiwan is often considered to be the most fiercely democratic country in the world.
Edit: ahh - I understand - US sentiment in ‘16 election was your example, not the Crimea.
- BerislavLopac 8y ago> Taiwan is often considered to be the most fiercely democratic country in the world. So was the UK.
- pjc50 8y agoNah, that was propaganda. We've always had an unelected upper house (!), non-proportional elections, quasi-banned parties (SF) and so on. "Most fiercely democratic country" is probably Switzerland.
- yellowapple 8y agoBy whom? I'm no expert in British government, but last I checked it's a monarchy with a parliament, the "Lords" of which having been indirectly appointed by that same monarch (by way of the Prime Minister). That ain't exactly a new development, either.
