@michaelscott-joynt3215 Morally, I strongly disagree with you.
"They're an elected politician" should NOT grant immunity against a charge of treason/sedition/terrorism.
If an any politician is inciting - or even just encouraging - violence and/or intimidation, against the politicians on the other side, something that is anathema to the democratic process, then they should be dealt with in just the same way that an unelected individual would.
It's called "equality before the law". It is precisely because "there are no kings" that this is the case.
Even the Queen is subject to the law (though, she can't commit treason against herself, obviously 🤣).
Remember: we executed a King to prove this principle.
If it is the case that they cannot be held to account, legally, for what they say and do, when what they say and do would see you or I in prison, THAT is corruption. THAT is tyrannical.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I have the impression that, *Constitutionally*, not just morally, any action taken against tyranny is justified.
