    Why would anything collapse? What a dumb thing to say. These people already don’t do anything but leech off the system. We’d have a more effective government and we’d kick the real welfare queens out.

      This is what a by-election is for. Someone is removed/resigns from office, or dies in office, surely you just run a by-election?

      At least this is what we do in Australia for our house of reps (there’s a different system for the senate since electorates are state-wide).

      FUD let’s them scare people into accepting fascist policy like the secret police & concentration camps by vilifying immigrants instead of the actual source of voters’ problems, billionaires and the way their wealth hoarding destabilizes democracies.
