Short of assassination there is little people can do when their political masters have forgotten the true meaning of the democracy of which they are forever prating, are determined to have their own way at all costs and hold public opinion in contempt. - The last testament of Flashman's creator: How Britain has destroyed itself, by George McDonald Frasier

Read the whole thing. And remember that Britain is a petri-dish of what the Left our political masters wish to "accomplish" here. (Edited because both the statist Left and statist Right want to accomplish the same thing, they just differ on who should be in charge.)
