Liberal democracy needs a rebooting?
All over the world, liberalism is under threat from the perception that it hasn’t done enough for everyone. There is also a second challenge. Liberalism’s cornerstones – individual freedom, open markets and societies – need to see off those who value neither. Events that unfolded during end-October 2018 suggest that Sri Lanka is challenged with both.

Since liberalism’s discontent stems from two areas different from one another, they each present a unique challenge. The seeming to fail or failing of progress for all has led to the rise of nationalist voices suggesting that openness is a zero sum game. It isn’t. Done right, it will garner economic prosperity and greater social cohesion. Of course, liberalism’s skeptics were always around, but now, they are more visible because the discontent is visible.

Sri Lanka’s plunge out of its liberal democratic system, however, should worry liberal champions. This is possibly why demand that democracy be put back on track, liberal or not, should become the rallying call.
