We’re told we have a government by popular consent. At least in one sense that’s true. Every government always exercises the maximum amount of power its rulers feel the people will stand for without revolting. If this government – or an element within it – is drastically increasing its use of power, then the leaders either feel they have the popular support – or apathy – to get away with it, or they’re taking desperate chances because they’re being pressed to the wall.
