      Stephen Daisley's output was polemic in nature, that's not suitable for the use of public money.

      Daisley is very talented, his writing is excellent. It would be a shame to lose it because of our increasingly totalitarian gov.

      How can you have a minority totalitarian government? Before it had a majority now not. Therefore decreasingly totalitarian?

      you can be totalitarian without being a government at all. And bringing pressure on the media doesn't require a vote

      You cannot be a totalitarian government regardless of belief if you can be out voted

      no, how could you? That would require being non partisan in the interest of parliament for a second or 2.
