For ‘pro-business’ read ‘swingeing privatisation’ but yeah the whole thing is a mess, and I’m not sure it’s possible to have ‘free and fair’ (whatever that means) elections under such conditions.
Wrt reasons to doubt the result, electronic vote counting/voting machines are reason enough imho — but that throws a load of other democracies into question 🤷
Yes I agree 100%. There’s no other way to do it.
