Nope, the broadcaster just issues a (sometimes tongue in cheek) apology and everything carries on.

The US broadcasters risk breach of advertising contracts and losing money over it.

The UK broadcasters will get a small fine if they don’t apologise and do it regularly.

And the public in the UK generally don’t care.

Yes, but your country being unable to have sensible judicial selection and poor judicial elections is not an argument for anywhere else.

The US ranges from failure to bad.

Other countries range from the good to the point other countries refuse to replace their own court system in order to continue using the good judiciary that’s trusted internationally.

Using the US as an example to follow in this case is a bad idea. Even if removing selection from the US system would be an improvement, it isn’t relevant anywhere else.

Especially when discussing an ideological law like making elections compulsory.

1st attempt was a republican shooter. He was

2nd attempt didn’t actually happen. They didn’t see Trump or draw their weapon. It was just someone who owned a gun in America.

It’s the republican party who have consistently displayed the attitude that the 2nd amendment is there for this type of thing, not the democrats.

How calm are you about your party doing this?

There are no illusions that politicians are experts.

Authority given to a judge is because of expertise, not in order to represent.

Elect representation, select expertise. Ensure oversight for both situations.

I’ve said before oversight is already in place be a democratically elected official. So stop with the silliness in claiming I’m antidemocratic.

The difference between you and me is you’re sprouting ideology and I’m explaining how a good system actually works in the real world in my country.

Asking millions of unqualified people to pick an expert and professional will not be as successful as an unbiased selection committee.

Not every problem is solvable with a popularity contest.

As long as a committee has democratic oversight democracy can still fix any problems as you wish. But it’s much more efficient and successful most of the time.

Resign from the senate.

Rather than just going back to that job after the campaign.

This campaign is literally zero cost for him as it stands. He’s a senator and will continue being a senator if he loses.

He should be forced to resign for things he’s done and admitted doing publicly.

So the problem with elected judges is the elections.

There are solutions to that. One of which is to appoint.

There are problems with appointed judges in America no doubt. Changes to appointments could definitely solve them. Elections most likely won’t.

Politics is inevitable and unavoidable. Your choice of sandwiches is ultimately political. Let alone judges.

Partisan politics is avoidable.

Avoid partisanship in the justice system and then you solve a lot of problems.

Small trucks vs. large trucks. Please follow the thread.

Those people use vans or second hand trucks built before they got fat.

You’re right. But it’s more that emissions standards didn’t happen.

Cars got them while trucks got them much, much less. So they build more trucks and fewer cars.

They should just have a road tax based on weight and an emissions tax based on emissions. Not emissions per class twice removed just CO2 per mile. All vehicles.

Roads get maintained by the weight tax, emissions tax to fund decarbonisation of the economy.
