    I voted

    Yes - all undemocratic parties should be allowed in the name of democracy.

    but my own opinion is that all undemocratic parties should be allowed in the name of freedom.

    If these parties get elected and tries to abolish democracy, they should be denied doing so; based on the constitution or whatever, the reasoning is not so important.

    What if the party gains a large enough majority or enough support to change the constitution? Is it then alright?

    It isn't alright, but there isn't necessarily much one could do.

    But a new idea came to mind; perhaps democracy is not holy; as long as the state is weak it does perhaps not matter that much whether it is democratic or not. Being a politician could just be another job that requires a certain education, like any other jobs. Are judges elected by the people? No, yet they hold much power in one aspect.

    So, ok, I might just have contradicted what I said earlier. What I fear is the state gaining more control over people, mainly that. Maybe I am an enemy of democracy myself.

    So to conclude, I am against parties abolishing democracy, if the party(ies) intend to take the power itself/themselves. Parties that wish to do so should be stopped. Still I do not want to ban them from the elections.
