Regardless of who won't allow new elections, or why, the people don't have a say in their current government (short of internal revolution or similar).
So, like I said, there's a lot more nuance than many Americans recognize. That was my only point. And, based on the author's tweets (now shared in this thread), he actually does support Hamas, which based on British law (also shared in this thread) could actually be illegal.

We've had three prime ministers since the last time I was allowed to vote in national elections, including two certifiable crazies. Some people seem to think that a government isn't legitimate unless it's appointed the way we appoint our government (FSVO "we"). I happen to take the view that an election isn't legitimate, however well it's run, if it's conducted while under military siege.
