He's certainly authoritarian, as is demonstrated by various proposals in the King's Speech. The trouble is that Johnson from 2020 onwards and Sunak made the Conservatives authoritarian also. Where would you find a true liberal in British politics at the moment?

@MartinII In the sense of classical liberalism: nowhere.

@Burnley123 'cept maybe Alan Johnson, the best PM that the Labour Party never had?

MartinII · 70-79, M

@Burnley123 Quite so.

@Justme264 Yes, but he's long retired. Ken Clarke and others from the Conservative Party as well.
