It'd take more than a year of dictatorial rule to clean out that filthy swamp mhaze.
If I was an U.S. citizen, I'd be wanting term limits for senators just for starters.

Before he died in prison, Aleksei Navalny, wrote a memoir.
It's coming out on 22nd October 2024. It's title is -
"The Patriot," and is published by Knopf. It can be bought
or pre-ordered from any good bookshop.

In this book, Navalny tells his story in his own words,
chronicling his life, and work as a pro-democracy activist,
and the attempts on his life. He rose to global prominence
as a fierce critic of Putin and resisted the Kremlin's
repeated attempts to silence him through physical harm,
poisoning, and imprisonment in a remote Arctic penal
colony, where he died in February at the age of 47.

This book is worth a read, and tells his story in his own words.
It comes as a final act of defiance. His widow Julia Navalnaya,
said in a statement, that it could have a galvanizing effect
on his followers and lovers of freedom in Russia.

It would make a great gift to anyone interested
in Russian politics.

Dear Indyvidual, ttbn, and mhaze,

.

It’s interesting to see that you all prefer Putin and/or Trump to Albanese and are highly critical of Australian democracy.

Yet, I see that according to The Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2024 world democracy index, Australia continues to qualify as a “full democracy”, ranking 14th out of a total of 167 countries.

There must be some good reason for each of you to prefer to live in Australia.

It's obviously neither our democracy nor our government.

May I ask what it is ?

Hi BP,

The three Usual Suspects you name prefer the radical far right to moderate liberal democracy. Mhaze, is a confirmed Trumpster, ttbn prefers the bigoted racists of One Nation. Indy thinks black people in Australia are "concrete jungle bunnies", said so himself. As long as they keep collecting their socialist aged welfare, they are happy, but they hate socialism.

Banjo Paterson,

I can't really speak for others as I don't know how they think. What I can do though is form opinions by how they present themselves & my perception. The term Democracy is being thrown around like a boomerang, bouncing off Leftist's heads on its flight path.
Of course Democracy is being hailed as a success by the parasitic non-contributors who do rather well due to the mentality & efforts of the conservative minded. Feel free to provide lists of Woke achievers in the fields of revenue creating which in turn provides employment which in turn provides the Taxes the Left lives off.
I don't think we on the "Right" don't necessarily prefer Trump or Putin, what we do prefer is what they stand for. I won't try to explain because you et al wouldn't understand anyway. It's all effort-creating related not just fruits of effort usage.
Why do we live in this "Democracy" ? Because that's where we are for various reasons & we don't want this Nation to go the way Europe has gone. All the signs are there that we are on the same path & the thinkers want to put a halt to the Woke's doings of dragging all of us down the path to destruction !

Here's an interesting link on Putin:
