Maybe for the UK it would be an authoritarian move, but I can definitely say that the other European states which don't use juries seem to me less authoritarian than the UK is - even as of today. Maybe the problem at the root is the mistrust people already have in the UK system? Because if we're only afraid of stereotypes, they wouldn't be worse for a judge than for a jury.

They have very different legal systems, very different courts systems, very different constitutional law.

Many European states are more authoritarian than the UK, although it is hard to make comparisons.
