They have frequently hinted that democracy would not be allowed under them.

But they have candidates in democratic elections.
Ergo they are at present a democratic party. They take part in the democratic system.

Please defend their policies.

If indeed they were democratic
I would say that even though every single policy of theirs I detest logically, emotionally, and rationally (as a right-liberal rather than a left authoritarian), they have a right to hold them and there would be nothing inherently evil about them, just wrong on a utilitarian level.

I thought you said that a democratic party couldn't have any indefensible policies?

But this does not apply to the poll tax, hypothetically
if it were imposed in a nation with very high personal wealth.
There is not anything Inherently logistically or morally wrong with ALL flat taxes everywhere.
The Poll tax was wrong for the UK, does not mean that its imposition was devoid of good faith or reason, or that it could not work elsewhere.

But Thatcher brought it in in the UK.
So what you are saying is a total irrelevance.

Learn to debate, you fool.
