Not direct democracy, not the rule of the people

[Michael Allan]

Those are good reasons.  Politics suddenly makes sense when the
decisions are insulated from power.  What a sea change it is, at this
late stage, to come to understand...  it has a rather different feel.
I'm surprised how the design of the code isn't affected.  It still
chugs along on its course.  Only the world has been spun around and
reoriented.
