Democracy is no justification for government

For it to mean anything at all, the concept of Democracy must mean that we are compelled and obligated to ‘obey’ the instructions of an elected body. If the individual has the right to refuse then the ballot is nothing more than an informal opinion poll.

It is not impossible for many people to share the same bad idea.

If it is possible for the crowd to be wrong then the concept of Democracy is false.
