Politics

DOJ will not prosecute George Zimmerman for civil rights violations.

More fraud uncovered in Scottish secession vote.

I wonder if the critics of China's dictates in Hong Kong recognize their hypocrisy.
"The protests in Hong Kong were triggered by the Chinese authorities’ unwillingness to make democratic concessions to the city. Beijing decreed that only its favored candidates could run in the city’s elections in 2017. This decision destroyed hopes of real democracy in the city. Even though Hong Kong residents will have universal suffrage, any candidate who runs will need to be pre-approved by a select committee of Beijing loyalists."
I wonder what other countries require candidates to be pre-approved, say in a primary election by party loyalists.
