Liberal MP James McGrath says the true test of a liberal democracy is not 'how you deal with those people with whom you agree' but 'how you deal with those people with whom you violently disagree'.
Liberal MP James McGrath says the true test of a liberal democracy is not “how you deal with those people with whom you agree” but “how you deal with those people with whom you violently disagree”.
“I think it’s an essential element of any democracy to have parties who may be distasteful,” he told Sky News host Cory Bernardi. “And the best way to deal with the issues that are raised by those parties is to bring them into the sunlight and allow an open discussion about those issues rather than allowing them to fester in the shadows.”
