So I actually think that the issue has come up because people don't know how to fix the stuff that's really impacting people's lives. And so they want to look at things that you can just fix with regulation. You bring a law in and it's fine. You can't just bring a law in and fix debt or fix productivity. You can't fix a birth rate with a law.
So legislators start looking for things that they can fix. And this is one of those campaigns that legislation can sort. Personally, I am not against the idea of assisted suicide. In fact, I've been very much for it because of experiences I saw in my family. But I voted against it because I don't think we're ready for it. I think we need to look at what's happened in Canada. It's being rushed.

It's all moving very quickly. And what I saw as a minister was a system that was broken, a system that was failing. And in the same way that I keep saying that liberalism is being hacked, This is another thing that could end up being hacked. How do we make sure that we do it the right way? And it is in Canada. Yes, exactly. And the rush was what made me vote against it.

I just thought, no, these guys don't know what they're doing. They're going to take something that's very sensitive, which we should try and figure out, and they're going to mess it up. And I don't want to be a part of that.

Well, we do have a constitution. It is just uncodified. Right. And it is in our common law. We have these freedoms. We still do. What is happening is that we are increasing the scale of regulation that is limiting freedoms that are already there. The British common law system is amazing.

And it's about freedom unless it is explicitly said that you cannot do those things, which is very different from the Napoleonic system. We just need to rediscover these things. And that's why I talk about culture, that you need to understand your culture. You need to understand where these freedoms, these ideas, these institutions came from.

If you just believe that it's all the fruit of exploitation and it's just what bad people did and it's not real, we will lose all these things.

Well, I wouldn't call it a total change. I think that this is definite progress. But you can't assume all the battles have been won. You need a plan. You need to make sure that you're defending the turf that you have just or the ground that you have just gained. But I think Neil's use of the phrase vibe shift is more accurate. And that even just a shift in vibe can change things.
