The difference between a real democracy and a fake one is simple. If the newly- elected government removes bad laws the chances are you’re in a democracy. Uniparty governments never remove laws -they keep the existing ones and create their own. The result is an ever-shrinking supply of freedom. In the west, every important country is already knee-deep in legislation. Laws that piled up on top of each other after decades of elections produced leaders who liked all the old law and added a bit more. I was prompted to write this by the wonderful spectacle of Donald Trump taking office and immediately signing executive orders to scrap a raft of insane laws put in place by the creators of the Biden Puppet Show. I won’t list them -you’ll have your own favourites- but the principle was what mattered. In a true democracy bad laws get removed after a change of leader. Where bad laws remain in place every leader can exploit them in their turn while claiming “it’s not me -it’s the law.” I have never in my life witnessed such a straightforward reversal of political direction as Trump is attempting and it was a privilege to behold.
