The UK has multiple political parties and free democratic elections. Just because the current government passed a law you don't agree with doesn't mean the country is authoritarian.
I personally don't think that first past the post is really democractic. In a local election recently, some racist won with 35% of the vote
Its a monarchy
Imagine thinking that the number of parties have anything to do with how democratic a country is. ๐คฃ
