Not going to happen. Elections are the fig leaf used by the powers that be to give them a cover of ‘legitimacy’. Many people will see the elimination of that fig leaf as the signal that the time to start shooting the bastards had officially come.

There is a world of difference between ‘Postponing’ elections (indefinitely) and canceling them outright.

I would tend to agree that the outright canceling of elections would be a major tipping point.

But postponing them for little while .. until the powers that be consolidate their power might not be the same thing…. Their story could be that “we’re just doing this until the emergency is over”… and keep it on doing it until it’s advantageous for them to have them again.

(Even a Socialist Worker’s party lead by Hitler had elections – massively skewed they were – but they had them none the less)
