A quick definition of husting:

Term: Husting

Definition: Husting is a word that was used a long time ago to describe different things. It could mean a meeting where important people talked about important things, like a king or leader calling a group of people together to discuss something. It could also mean a special court where important legal cases were heard. Sometimes, it was used to describe a raised platform where people would stand to give speeches during political campaigns. This last meaning stopped being used after a law was passed in 1872. Nowadays, husting can just mean any place where people give speeches during political campaigns.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Husting refers to a few different things:

  1. Historical: A deliberative assembly, usually called by a king or other leader.
  2. Historical: A court of law in London, England.
  3. Historical: A raised platform used by officials of the Court of Hustings.
  4. Historical: A raised platform used to nominate candidates for Parliament. This practice ended after the Ballot Act was passed in 1872.
  5. Modern: Any place where political campaign speeches are made.

For example, in the past, a king might call a husting to discuss important matters with his advisors. The Court of Hustings in London was a place where legal cases were heard. The raised platform used by officials of the Court of Hustings allowed them to be seen and heard by everyone in the room. Similarly, the raised platform used to nominate candidates for Parliament allowed them to be seen and heard by potential voters. Today, a husting might refer to a political rally or speech where candidates address voters.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
