Can't stop people running for election. If people want to vote in someone with foul and dangerous views, that's their prerogative.
I'm talking about unelected people who have the right to sit in judgement of or enforce the law under which all groups have to live. Actually, I just realised....Judges are elected over there are they? If so that's a different matter. I would hope that a white supremacist woldn't be voted into any kind of public office but that's the publics' right if they want to. Unelected and therefore imposed is a different matter altogether. |

I just don't think you can summarily fire someone from a government job because of what they beleive. Again...would you make a list of forbidden parties? Or just forbidden beliefs? Or let the supervising official make individual judgements? Because that sounds like what you're saying. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised given how you expected speech you considered racist to be policed here on the Cellar. But I am.
