is set to be a record-breaking year for democracy. Around half
the world’s population will vote in an election over the next
12 months. Ballot boxes will be rolled out in the US, where I
am in the UK and across the European Union for the European
Parliament vote in June, to name just a few.</P>

one perspective, the prospect of millions of people expressing
their fundamental rights at the same time is thrilling. From
another, it is deeply anxiety inducing. Our political
identities are evolving in ways that we don’t yet fully
understand. One of the most confusing of these evolutions is
the blurring line between libertarianism and authoritarianism
— this discombobulating sense that people are voting for
autocratic leaders and calling it freedom. That matters in the
US and European Parliament elections, where extremist
politicians who gleefully talk of rolling back our democratic
norms are standing for office and enjoying a popularity that
many find difficult to understand.</P>
