Yes, my big sister used to try that one on me. It didn't work then either.
Your paragraphs 2 and 3 come right out of the fantasy: a limited grasp of political realities that plots political options on a simplistic L - R horizontal axis.
The 'hybrid authoritarianism' paragraphs only demonstrate this. The latest state power grab is fully endorsed by the majority of MPs in the HoC, including the 'Left' opposition. Plot that.
btw, in case you hadn't noticed, I've opposed it consistently, quite often to the sneering derision of yourself and other members. Plot that too.
