Democracy is liberal and peaceful
It is strange for a party such as the Tory party (which claims to be anti-socialist) to support a voting system which gives people less choice. The reason to have democracy is to make sure that the state is not oppressing the people so then democracy itself is liberal and anti-socialist. The reason for a political party to reject democracy is so that the state can retain power against the wishes of the people (by definition anti-liberal). What the people want is liberalism or there would be no argument in favour of democracy... democracy is by definition liberal and to oppose it is always illiberal and totalitarian. Only an interventionist government would seek to reject democracy since democracy is liberal and peaceful.
