Political toleration
On this page, you will find an overview of the articles about political toleration.
Toleration is about allowing something controversial. In the case of politics, the element of controversy concerns both political views and behaviour together. Citizens have a political opinion, they propagate it, and they want to realise it (together with others) by doing something. Political toleration exists when dissenting political opinions and actions are free.
