We are the only country, to my knowledge, to have had a suspension of our liberal democracy as a means of better handling of the pandemic. I was immensely relieved when emergency rule ended; as Winston Churchill once said, “democracy is the worst form of government except for all others that have been tried”. I subscribe to that view.
