Whatever your political persuasion, defend your corner here. All we ask is that you voice YOUR opinion, rather than just post a link to a half-hour youtube video. Politics can get a bit lively, and if you prefer a less combative debate, please post in the Politics for Moderates section instead.

Democracy is changing.
With Trump and Erdogan, and no doubt others, we are now seeing democratically elected dictators with enormous levels of support.

Quite so and it is to be remembered and valued. Although at times it is a pity that certain newspapers abuse this freedom.

Are you saying that only right wing rags make up stuff? That would be quite an admission if it was true.
