There’s a lot to digest here.

The thing that struck me most though was the article mentions was the tactic of allowing voters to place their vote in any state. Voter Tourism, essentially.

As the article mentions - expect something similar from the administration.

If that happens then personally I think that’s a huge sign that the mid-terms will be compromised.

Free and fair democracy is so important. It must not be destroyed.

    Much if what you said is true, but the strikes in the 70s moves the country right politically if anything - a decade and a half if Tory governments despite the protests IIRC.

      That’s a good point!

      I’m personally not sure it would because rather than unionised labour with special interests demanding pay increases and better working conditions we are talking about a massive general strike.

      It’s true that it may well be like opening Pandora’s box.

      The aims of the strike would need to be clear, concise and purely to stop violence. Using it as a tool to force a change of government would likely mean it’s use by others in the future.
