      The same way Apartheid South Africa was a democracy. You conveniently remove the ‘undesirables’ from the system, and your colony of immigrants and their descendants becomes a “vibrant democracy”.

        As someone who grew up during the Apartheid-years, I have to say… that’s exactly how it was.
