Ukraine needs to have elections

[–] Egriaga@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The thing is their constitution states that during a time of war they can't.

Abraham Lincoln was given a choice to not hold elections during the American civil war but he understood the war is at the will of the people. Are we afraid the Ukrainian people will vote against the war?

Great. Then have an election!

Again under martial law there cannot be elections, and I highly doubt ending martial law now would have a good outcome.

Abraham Lincoln was given a choice

And Zelenskyy is not given a choice. Their constitution forbids it. Are you suggesting that Zelenskyy should seize more power beyond that granted by the constitution?

Oh well since it's legal then that's alright. Guess slavery is fine too, as long as the constitution says it is.
