It is better to have the right to vote than outright dictatorship

A Government that will show restraint is one that will allow more liberties than the authoritarian alternative.

If there is no Government, it is only from (a) voluntary organisation that we would fear reprisals for aggressive acts, we would be free in the most complete sense.

There is no reason to participate in the political process, other than to oppose it. The Government are no more important than any other person, their popularity makes no material difference to their legitimacy. The fact that the Government uses coercion to gain wealth is no more legitimate than if a private organisation did so. There is no reason why the Government would logically permit people to vote. The Government is different from other coercive organisations in that they allow a vote, it would be even more illegitimate not to be allowed to vote. The tyranny would be worse without a vote.
