But this point only likely to be a convincing one to collectivists. Someone made it re: Saudi women driving recentlyhttps://twitter.com/christianjbdev/status/855166277324873728 …

In that case liberalism seems to work out better than democracy coz women who don't want to drive wldnt be forced to.
@christianjbdev -
And in many cases where ppl complain of having liberal values forced on them, they can still live just as they wish.
@christianjbdev -
But when a decision affects everybody, it then becomes illiberal to enforce liberalism & we get stuck in a paradox.
@christianjbdev -
Is it illiberal to not want a referendum on a major issue, and consult the experts instead?
-
I think that's a different criticism of referenda altogether. Doesn't boil down to whether or not its liberal.

I dunno. It may be that liberal democrats are willing to sacrifice a little bit of the democracy part for a more liberal society.

I agree. I meant that if democracy is how a country is run, can't count on it being liberal if ppl aren't.
