robertteh SG Ok, I got your point here. You are saying that just because our fascists are causing problems to our independence of entity between the three branches of government that does not mean that there are such problems with other democracies. I hope I have not tarnished the reputations of other democracies as their separation of powers among the three distinct branches of government to me is working well. However, I cannot help but notice that our fascists are always trying to say that democracy is a liberal concept and will not work for us and needs to be doctored to suit their fascism which is not getting us anywhere apart from make-belief media indoctrination.
walesa SG The point you've just mentioned is in essence why I didn't want to draw any parallel between the fascist regime we have here with the many other parliamentary democracies on this planet which bear testament to the credibility - and the possibility(although I doubt there're that many people in S'pore who are aware the Judiciary, Executive and Legislature even existed, nevermind the functions they are supposed to serve ) - of independent institutions which help uphold the Constitution of their respective lands. In essence, having a handful of rogue regimes in place operating under the smokescreen of a parliamentary democracy does not - and should never - justify undermining the credibility and feasibility of having a parliamentary democracy as a system. LOL! Talking about this regime as 'democratic' is as easy and convincing as trying to sell to half the world the notions of 'democracy' and 'republic' when applied to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea...
