The beef about advisors goes back to Thatcher, who started listening to hers, rather than her cabinet.

And another interesting question - are the people who can quickly solve the well-defined problems actually the best to be devising interventions for the messy problems? ...

The problem with the original post is the implication that some of the second group are really in the first group, but either don't realise it, or are being dishonest about it.
Maybe, but they could simply want a safeguard that has not yet been added, without being against in principle?

For a majority yesterday, there were sufficient safeguards.
For those against, some are against in principle, and some do not see sufficient safeguards.
We don't know the proportions of these.

It's nice to see a reasoned argument.

Which means they also stand for continuing to increase the national debt, while simultaneously moaning about it.

Most likely, not regime change just regime removal...

But how is Iran supposed to pivot to just the right kind of authoritarian regime - I assume that is what Trump and Netanyahu would want to do business with - from its current position?

I didn't say that unwise spending _causes_ ill health. But clearly it can fail to produce the health outcomes we want. Pandemics and other extraordinary events aside, it's reasonable to examine how effective our spend is, and not just assume increases will automatically solve problems.

But not if your population is getting less healthy - that shows money not being spent wisely...

We're all going to have to vote with our wallets, either buying repairables or not buying unrepairables. After a similar experience with a Surface, my next laptop will be based on the above.

Hmmm, surely if there is shown to have been a miscarriage of justice, there must be some sort of risk of prosecution to those involved? I don't see how no blame could be guaranteed?

Yes and I wonder how brave I would be if my family and friends were threatened.
Also it's not easy to come up with an effective response to the sudden failure of both the legislature and justice to protect you from a malevolent executive - i.e. the constitution you thought was robust, isn't.

Although the above numbers may be correct, European countries need to show a determination for united action, first at speed, then sustained through election cycles, that we have never seen before.

But I don't think a written constitution can ever cover all the bases of what a government might do when it no longer believes "this is who we are". You would still need a supreme court - and a willingness to uphold what it says...

But the piece highlights how inconsistent we are, and I agree the law needs amending.

He mentions the current 'slippery slope' - you may or may not be prosecuted for assisting...
vs the one I think bothers most people - the possibility of coercion when prosecution is no longer a danger...
For me the 2nd slope is way bigger and more slippery
