                  We should start breaking the law now for the election?

                  If the law says candidate cannot appear, then candidate should not appear. We have the right to rule ourselves, to make our own decisions on how our system will work. We are not required to have or keep any system or method.

                  If we chose to change our law to be ruled by monarchy, then that is exactly what we should get. Then there’d be no candidates.

                  Democracy does not supercede the law. To the contrary, we only have democracy because the law says so. We only have protection of life, of property, because the law says so. 200 years ago black people were property, because the law said so. If we do not like a law, it is our responsibility to change it, while we still possess that ability.
