—“I don’t believe universal suffrage has been a success”— Peter Hitchens

You’re demonstrably responsible for commons or not. If not, then you’re demonstrably a threat to the commons. The common people will always destroy freedom because freedom requires responsibility and the majority prefer dependency over responsibility.

I’m in favor of participatory government if for no other reason other than determination of legitimacy by concurrency across classes and regions in the assent or dissent of proposed legislation: a jury. We have proven politicians are terrible, and that presidents are worse than kings and their cabinets. But we’ve proven the universal franchise is just a slow road to autocracy.
