>> gradually evolving them into a modern liberal democracy

Yeah, this is the key observation. "a modern liberal democracy", a.k.a. replacing locals with third world, arresting citizens for posting comments online while letting rapists and murderers go with minimum sentences so they can strike again, making gayness and wokeness obligatory or at least the norm, colonizing white people and calling it reparatory justice, importing radical Islam and liberally supporting revolution (like in Iran) so we can all have a wonderful ayatollah regime... all that.

Definitely removing centuries old pure British tradition is a step forward into "modern liberal democracy", I cannot deny that!
