If only there were a word for governments that prioritize "order" over "liberty"...

That’s a lazy critique. It’s a Commonwealth thing. If you really believe all Commonwealth countries are authoritarian, there’s not much I can say here that would convince you otherwise.

Anyways, I don’t deny there are pluses and minuses. The situation of the person in this article (if the facts are as reported) is unfortunate, and I’d hope that the ministry would intervene if push really came to shove.

Not-run-by-Trump?

Imagine living in a country where the concept of liberty is so strong that calling for insurrection over the democratic process is fine.
