If you are happy to live in a state where a government removes powers for it to be prosecuted for criminal offenses then that is your choice.

No, that is not a choice I am making. But as I pointed out, the Electoral Commission have not shown themselves suitable to hold such powers.

As Gina Miller showed quite clearly in 2019, it is quite possible for even a member of the public to hold the government to account, and to take them to court for their electoral actions.
