Thomas Hobbs was a very instructive thinker on this subject of absolute goverment. And his argument was basiccaly very simple but it took an entire book Levithan to explain it Hobbs said the implicit bargain the people makes with the state it that the state gives them absolute safety in return they have to abounden all their freedoms and right for ever. The last two years be have been ruled by this principle. That was Hobbs view I hope all in here view this conclution as repellent.

But Sumption isn't shouting his opinions in a loud regional accent. He can't possible be right!

Has an illiberal democracy (48:35) ever existed? Is there one? The very idea seems an affront to democracy, unless one is thinking of the tyranny of the majority. But surely one would not consider the latter a democracy worthy of the name. And one where the rule of law governs? In all probability what one finds there is rule by law.

Will you, Sumption, return the money Abramovich paid you, or you did not know where the money came from?
