The libertarian fantasy where its possible to exist without the choices of others impacting you, doesn't work in the real world.

True, but in the UK (and many other so-called democracies) it's not fellow citizens/voters who impact our lives the most.
Rather, it's vested and sectional interests who control power and or have the most effective means to bring the citizenry around to their way of thinking.
As Chomsky would put it, these few have the means to manufacture consent.
