In Australia, it is still remembered that the Governor-General fired the Labour government in 1973 and appointed the Liberals (conservatives) because Labour had lost their majority, could not pass a budget and refused to call an election because they were going to get their arses kicked by hte voters. The Governor General acted as he did to put a stop to extremely selfish and anti-democratic behaviour by the Labour side, but after such an extraordinary intervention he knew he was compromised and no longer impartial, and resigned as soon as the Liberals passed a budget and then called and won a general election. I suspect that Mr Mattarella has been compromised in much the same way. He has taken sides. Regardless of whether he was right, or even whether his actions were legal, he himself has lost his impartial position and in a parliamentary republic this will make his position untenable.

There do exist thresholds and tipping points. Here's a lesson that Churchill knew: When we slaughter our enemies, its good. When our enemies slaughter us, its bad. "Political tags -- such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth -- are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire." Robert A. Heinlein Locking up and/or denying entry to journalists and youtubers, making it a crime to carry knives or guns, etc places the UK authorities among "those who want people to be controlled", which goes against all that the British have stood for for hundreds of years, since before Magna Carta, even.

There's one great thing about Italian democracy. Everybody has a go at being prime minister.

Oh, and one more thing about folk who want to control others:

Yup I have no doubt that King John fought hand and foot to get the clause about gun and sword control out of Magna Carta Why do you always have to bring that same tired old nonsense into ALL your arguments, just accept that as a race by and large us Brits are more comfortable with our gun control measures, in fact I'd like to see sentences for offences where guns are used increased. As for Brits and our attitude to knives you may have a strange desire to want to carry a knife or maybe even knives with you as you go about your daily business but again that is alien to our way of life. Many of us may not like it but we do accept that in the USA the public attitude to guns is vastly different and that no matter how many mass shootings occur it will never change, we speak out but we know in our hearts that nothing will happen. Why cannot you just shut up an accept that we see things differently here?

Because an Englishman would never prevent his neighbour from carrying a sword, or a .32 in his pocket. I am an Englishman. You wonder why Brexit is foundering? A population that "sees things differently" in that they are more than happy to give up any and all means of defending themselves is no threat to a people who now, effectively, own them. History speaks for itself, no matter what your feelz about it say.

Magna Carta was all about enforcing social rules on anti-social monarchs such as King John, who was Kim Jung Un before Kim Jung Un.
