One of the big campaign things the PM says is that 'people want government out of their lives'. I think he's talking to the wrong country. An example. Masks. People will wear one if the government says you have to. If the government says you don't, they take them off. That's a healthy historical habit, in that previously government was always informed by expertise. Current governments have done everything they can to cut the link between politics and expertise. Right now, you need to follow the science, not the politicians. Because the politicians stopped listening to the science a long way back. The science is in the link.
