What the election’s really about

Ann David says “a good day dawns . . . when most of Parliament is liberal, not conservative” (Letters, July 19).

If Ann David thinks the voters’ choice is between “liberal” and “conservative”, I don’t agree. The real choice seems to be between liberal/conservative and progressive/woke. Online, at least, many liberals line up with conservatives because progressive/woke is so authoritarian and controlling — e.g. censorship, harsh judgment (without a trial) and cancel culture.

The election will really be about whether or not to embrace authoritarianism.
