A democracy is failing when... A list of what this government has done to our country.

Those who support the opposition are discouraged from voting.

Protests that are noisy and get noticed are banned

Strikes also banned

1/4 #ToryCorruption @GreenJennyJones

Police spies have legal immunity when infiltrating campaign groups

· The people who oversee the running of elections lose their independence

· It disregards international law and treaty commitments

· Lawyers and judges are declared the enermy within

It dilutes human rights and the ability of courts to question decisions of executive

Corruption is rife and legitimised

One rule for those partying at the top and another for the rest.

Money buys access and access gets you the contracts, licences and regulations you desire

The national broadcaster is run by friends of the ruling party

The independent media is mostly owned by foreign billionaires

And the executive takes unto itself the powers of parliament to make, delete or change laws
