> But I'd like to point out that the Conservatives in the UK are nothing like Libertarians. There are a few perhaps, like the MP in the article, who would like to think of themselves that way. But the Conservatives as a whole are Authoritarian bordering on Totalitarian, and they are the most Authoritarian of all the big parties (more than the left).

I agree, however the media insists on talking about Johnson's "Libertarian instincts" and the "Libertarian wing of the party". I don't see them as very Libertarian at all! See also drug policy, protest bill, internet surveillance, housing market interventions...
