    This .meme just encourages partisanship. Parties having locked unity seems worse for democracy than dissent.

    • when we talk policies this argument has some merit, but we are talking fundamental proceedings to enable the parliament to be able to work at all.

      if a party cannot get this straight and its members to compromise for that,then this harms democracy much more. It paralyzes and ultimately delegitimizesdemocracy as a form of government,which is precisely what the MAGA hats want.

      I disagree. I think the whole situation will force Republicans to work with Democrats because now that there’s 3 “parties,” there will have to be more compromises.

        Only there are no three parties, but two. Any republican who deviates from that will soon find no more support from his party for the next election cycle.
