There is an absence in #parliaments — in #india, in the #uk, perhaps elsewhere too. Ruhi Khan (LSE Gender Studies & LSE Data Science) discusses the 'missing' #women parliamentarians from #minority communities, especially #Muslim women.

National #parliaments should be able to block obvious #nondemocratic parties or people from participating in an #election. That's a #democratic majority solution to prevent that parties or people that promise nonsensical and dangerous things, that are pushed by #foreignadversaries, that are #fascist or take irresponsably advantage of #voters, would be able to break down a well functioning #democracy for the sake of destroying it.

Αυτό που συνιστά το χαρακτηριστικό, τον λόγο ύπαρξης του αναρχισμού είναι η πεποίθηση ότι οι κυβερνήσεις - δικτατορίες, κοινοβούλια κ.λπ. - είναι πάντα όργανα διατήρησης, αντίδρασης, καταπίεσης. Και η ελευθερία, η δικαιοσύνη, η ευημερία για όλους πρέπει να προέρχονται από τον αγώνα ενάντια στην εξουσία, από την ελεύθερη επιχείρηση και την ελεύθερη συμφωνία μεταξύ ατόμων και ομάδων.

What constitutes the characteristic, the raison d'etre of #anarchism is the conviction that the #governments - #dictatorships, #parliaments, etc. - are always instruments of conservation, reaction, oppression; and freedom, justice, well-being for everyone must come from the fight against authority, from free enterprise and free agreement among individuals and groups.
