"Leaders of electoral authoritarian regimes use unfair elections to deceive their citizens, create the illusion of popular support, & legitimize their rule...nefarious tactics include repressing the opposition &... manipulating the law, media, electoral administration, & campaign resources."
How to Compete in Unfair Elections | Journal of Democracy
Opposition movements often boycott rigged polls rather than risk legitimizing an autocrat. It is usually a mistake. Here is the playbook for how one opposition seized the advantage.

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions?
Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

And Nadhim Zahari gave Palantir our NHS patient database. Then Wes Streeting contracted them further. Both are guilty. Both should go to gaol.
Palantir CEO laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI.
He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'.
But there is only one terrorist here, and Palantir are war criminals.

How many plumbers does she think we need?! A staggeringly illiterate understanding of the labour market apart from anything else.
Braverman says social transitioning would be banned in all schools, "no ifs or buts". She says the 50% target for university education would be replaced with a 50% target for kids going into trades like electricians and plumbing. As ever, I'll believe it when it's the MPs' own kids who do this.

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?
Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".
Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.
Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.
