Thank you for this one. I think it's a threat to democracy that everything has become so opaque... Take the impeachment procedure: I've heard some Republican representatives wanted to vote for impeachment but didn't dare to... what do you make of this?

Hi Tyler! At least Members of Parliament should be free to vote and have their opinions. If you ask me, parliamentarians should decide based on free deliberation and based on exchanging ideas and information. Not on force. One shouldn't get their way by threatening someone.
