The Bishop is just a crook who actually hand picked the representatives that voted in the parallel election (what a system! Piratis democracy in action) and he managed to pass into the second round, despite getting less than 8% from the people.
You are so pathetic! You can not argue against me so you put words in my mouth and argue against your own imagination.
No Bananiot, the way the Archibishop was elected was
not democratic and I was perfectly clear about this. However the Archbishop has no authority, and in fact in most other countries the religious leaders are not chosen in a democratic way by the people anyways.
Who is chosen democratically by the people in all democratic countries is their political leadership. So how can you complain that some religious leader was elected undemocratically and want to silence him because of this, and yet you are willing to accept that another person with equivalent popular support, not only can have an opinion, but he can also be the president of Cyprus or veto whatever the majority of the people want. Would you accept if Chrysostomos had such powers Bananiot?
I was always 100% clear about the kind of democracy I support. The definition of democracy that I fully agree with can be found here:

Being a crook is also the trademark of most rejectionists and Chrysostomos is a bash rejectionists.
Beign a crook, by definition, is a trademark of acceptionists. Rejectionists, reject crimes, reject human rights violations, reject illegalities, reject racist discrimination. Yet, the acceptionists are acceptionists because they accept all of the above.
