Title ProperTesting the Limits of Elective Dictatorship
LanguageENG
AuthorMabbett, Deborah
Summary / Abstract (Note)the johnson government has no talent for avoiding responsibility for failure. The outbreak of the pandemic should have brought blame‐avoiding instincts to the fore. There were no gains in sight, only losses to be allocated: deaths and economic damage in unforgiving ratios. True, the experts were wheeled out, but they could not be asked to judge difficult trade‐offs. The insistence of the Scottish and Welsh governments on raising their voices should have provided a clue about a workable blame‐avoidance strategy: involve everyone and seek consensus.
