Apparently over 70% of those who see Dinesh D’Sousa’s new documentary “2,000 Mules” are convinced that the last US presidential election was illegitimate.
This puts the American system in a predicament. In the Westminster system, the Queen or Governor-General could dissolve Parliament and call a new election. America has no mechanism to rerun an election, so far as I can see. All they could do is impeach Biden. But that would not correct the error; the presidency would be thrown to his vice-president, elected at the same time by the same suspect vote.
And impeaching is difficult. It must be done for cause, there must be a formal trial, it can tie the legislature up for months. It is much simpler in Westminster. Boris Johnson is right now undergoing a caucus revolt, and they might vote him out as of this evening.
