    You’re not talking about governments but about laws. People in the government engage the responsibility of the government.

        So according to you, if members of the government agree to do something illegal or at least that shouldn’t be allowed, without anything opposing them and let’s say, the president covering for them, this is not the responsibility of the government because it’s not a policy?

        Going further, if all the government agrees to do something unofficially, without writing it down as a policy, then it is not the responsibility of the government.

        So basically they can do anything they want, as long as it’s not official, and it will never change the status of democracy of the government. A country like Turkiye then would be a perfect democracy since all their dictatorship-like actions tend to stay supposedly unofficial.
