Education is potentially a worse band-aid than anti-democratic party banning, because education requires skilled, paid and motivated workers that aren't corrupted themselves. Party banning requires observing collective political organisations while education requires observing individual working persons.

Well, I'm not advocating against party banning. I'm just saying that if the reason a party is being banned is because there's a real chance they might win an election. Then it really is just deferring the problem.

Latent far right ideologies were the dominant background when the constitution came into existence. Yet, this is a situation (anti-democratic party with considerable power) that is not supposed to happen.
