Democracy?
Indeed it is .. as much of a democracy as say ... USA or EU countries, perhaps? In the context of VIP / politicians / (list wealthy people here) that is.
Getting back on topic ...
The pilot should be commended for his actions. Although the exact reasons for him ejecting said passenger would be interesting to know. In other countries this person would be interviewed by police and depending on the severity of the incident, brought before a judge. This politician should issue an apology if he has any credibility at all.
But then.. do politicians have any credibility ?
