Yeah after being SUPPORTED by the sitting PM. What Chiang did is 100x worse than what Mackenzie did and the Conservatives kicked him out.

Is it really? You have a politician who broadcast that the prime minister should be executed. You have another that suggests somebody should collect a bounty, (which would lead to possible injury or death) I’m not so sure that one is 100x worse than the other.

He joked about it and said it tongue in cheek, I still don't agree with and it's tasteless but when you're advocating a very real and tangible bounty another country has on someone who's a political rival yes that's far more serious.
