      Career judges with a strong oversight board.

      With the exception of the US, all other developed countries rely exclusively on them, and, for the most part, have a better justice system.

      Comparison between US data show that elected judges will decide cases differently based on distance to the elections (I.e. they will more heavy handed closer to elections). That’s not justice, it’s bringing mob mentality to the courts.

        No amount of half wits endorsing your stance makes your point not dumb as shit. Our system is rotted to the core and you know it, and you want them to appoint our judges? Which leaves us no way of taking it back from them.

        Examine the sources of your information, because this is, derogatory terms inserted here, of an opinion.

          Your argument boils down to: we can’t fix our broken system because our system is broken.

          You’re either a right wing troll trying to convince people that nothing can be done, or you’ve internalized the nihilism they try to implant.

            Allowing politicians to select judges leads us to ruin at this point in time. Maybe not in canada, yet, ya hoser, but in the US for sure. It is laughable to think that allowing the system to appoint judges would work better.

            Look at the UK right now! Look at it! How is that working by the way? Or do you not even know they are cancelling the magna carta as we speak?

                You guys just cancelled jury trials for up to three years for starters. Started a masterbaitorbase, for national security we have to know every webpage you considered whacking off to, you know, for the kids.

                In the process Id’ing every user on every computer for palantir types to make secret social scrores to be used against you in ways you can’t challenge. And you are oblivious.

                Your courts were integral, are integral in that, along with your fake politicians. England was the birthplace of modern liberty and you gave it away, apparently without knowing it in your case.

                  The pornhub thing is stupid. VPN use us widespread now. Our gov often gets lobbied by US big tech companies working on behalf of US gov unfortunately.

                  IDing every user on every computer? What? Source?

                  Social scores? Source?

                  I’m oblivious as to what you watched on Telegram that twisted certain things into extremes.

                  The courts thing is idiocy from Lammy. Not guaranteed. Starmer is toast and doesn’t have widespread support in his own gov. House of Lords can block anything not in a manifesto. Some shit has gone sideways, accepted, but your outlook is a little extreme. These battles are happening all over the world. There is mass techbro fascism at war with every country right now. Singling out UK is missing the overall picture.

                    You believe that? Wow. Maybe you should read a newspaper. You are too far gone to reason with I fear, living in an alternate reality that doesn’t exist.

              The magna carta which established parliament? Are they dissolving parliament and returning absolute power to the monarchy? Or are you as delusional as you sound?

        It also becomes a larger issue in the USA because 49 states have a common law system where previous rulings affect future rulings. Elected judges are more likely to go against previous rulings, affecting how the law is applied.

      We/They, or at least somebody, elects the person(s) who hires/chooses/manage the judges. I’d settle for a “rate your judge” jury system, even.

      Obligatory “End FPTP” when I mention voting, because it’s foundational to all voting issues.
