Mr W, I am unsure that the privacy of the secret ballot should change. I often have not even told my wife for whom I have voted. Nor would I demand that she tell me.

I fully respect anyone who is prepared to discuss, reasonably, and without abuse, their political views. One of my best life long friends is someone that , on the face of it, should have been at my throat. 35 years later we are still great mates

Angry crowds outside any democratic gathering, that seek to intimidate people are abhorrent.

This applies in my view to bullies be they left, right, environmentalists....whatever

I am still really annoyed at some of the rent a mob protests in my days at College in the 80s. I wanted to hear and challenge certain proposed speakers, but these mobs managed to get debates cancelled for security reasons. Freedom of expression????

I wish that people would please respect people's intelligence and freedom of conscience - angry mobs try, and sadly often succeed in preventing this

For an example. just look at the eastern regions in Ukraine and the recent sham Russian polls. Instead of angry crowds, it's troops with rifles. Probably far right nationalists. A different form of intimidation, but intimidation none the less.

Intimidating people to change their opinions is not an effective way to change their minds.

Do you think this is acceptable behavior from 'protestors'?

booing and jeering by the working classes? Yes, i think its perfectly acceptable when he is in support of making them poorer while he and his friends get richer.

How else do you want them to share their upset? Waiting another 2 years for another GE while this unelected government cause immeasurable and irreversible damage off a mandate they dont have after they scraoped the mandate that Bojo's government won the last election on? Sounds really democratic.
