> If half the registered voters want to elect Adolf Hitler, is it acceptable for a democratic government to agree to ignore them? The candidate people voted for would enter office, but elected officials should not have the power to do the things Hitler did. > The Nazi party is banned in Germany. Is that good or bad? It's basically meaningless. If you ban the "Nazi party" and then someone comes and says they're a member of the Social Nationalists party which is totally different even though it shares a lot of the same policies, now you have to decide which policies are banned. And we're back to politicians are never allowed to censor their opponents etc.
