Really remarkable that the Scottish Greens not adopting the IHRA definition would discount them from being able to form a government in a democracy.
I think that is quite 'extremist'. I don't think people realise how dangerous a path this is.

The idea that certain political parties could be excluded from government on the basis of not adhering to a certain set of guidelines or definitions is remarkable. It's post-democratic liberalism in its clearest form - one for political theorists to think about!
I think its outlandish this is conceivable in a democracy. Sadly it was given too much truck by Labour left, who frequently placed short term media management over right thing. That will have long term consequences for any sensible debate on this stuff
This isn't about the definition, but the idea that preconditions must be met for you to be allowed to govern. I believe in a minimum wage, but I don't think those opposed to one should be excluded from forming a govt if they get the most votes.
Post-democratic liberalism.
