The Guardian article is interesting because it helped untangle the idea of liberalism and democracy in my mind. How did they become so deeply linked?

Democracy means that people can vote. Liberalism means they get to choose who to vote for.
Because illiberals, when realizing their beliefs aren't all that popular, don't tend to pack it in and give it up to democracy.
