Political reality is she’s tainted. In all likelihood she will never be convicted and it will be swept under the carpet and she will donate a whole lot of money to charity or something when the PR people clean it up.
There been plenty of dumb behaviour on the right as well like Uffidell, where we all chipped in on something that was child’s play compared to this. Is it only right politicians we can criticise?
In a general answer to a couple of your posts wiz
Uffindell - violence reports. Are you seriously comparing the two? Either way mps should be held to standards and if PROVEN WITH FACT AND EVIDENCE to have breached those then the consequences should occur via the party and any legal avenues. That applies to all parties.
In my opinion all conspiracy antivaxxers should never become mps in the first place either, out of scope of this topic.
Off and on limits - well, if you take into account that mps are human, and there needs to be boundaries respected as per common law and just general civility and respect:
- Convicted offences - public domain
- Personal attacks and speculation - No
- Mental health, physical health, bullying, demeaning remarks - No
- Pony tail pulling - really not sure about this one
- Dedicated attack and black ops organisations within political parties - absolutely shine the light and shame them
- Corruption - 100% yes public domain
- Antivaxxers, conspiracy theorists, grifters - 100% shine the light on them
- Corporate shills? Bought out by the tobacco industry? Hell yeah
General decency really. At the same time, our democracy is under attack by those who seek to break down government and move to an authoritarian right.
I've also got no doubt there's a new wave of right wing black ops going on right now, that will be somewhat removed from certain parties. ZB has moved far right and occupies a Fox News like space now.
The left, whatever that means, are highly disorganised and quite frankly a bit shit.
Meanwhile the right are extremely well organised and financially flush - here's that pesky taxpayers union again -
