I've not written anything about Lake, and I'm certainly not a 'fan' of some of the things that he's said or advocated, which on occasion have veered beyond what I would deem to be the sort of politics that I could condone.

Did this action contravene democratic principles? Certainly! Here in the UK we live in a heavily controlled and regimented 'democracy'.
