Hmmm...
Isn't there a word for the kind of country where parties the Government dislike find their members being arrested for campaigning ?

Britain is beginning the slide into Ordnung just as Germany did when it spawned two dictatorships on German soil within 20 years
It seems to me, that all sorts of peaceful democratic activities are being squashed in the name of "public order". But the worst of it is that anyone can disenfranchise another group or person, by threatening to riot, and the police treat the innocent and the guilty parties just the same. In the UK today, only the islamist head-choppers can expect police protection, even when they really are inciting violence and murder.

Except we have a new twist. Our Ordnung enshrines disorder and chaos.
Im reading "the road to srfdom" (Hayek) at the moment, and sadly recommend it.
Whoops, thats "the road to serfdom"
