Come on Mig, don't you know that the marketplace is the perfect democracy because people are able vote with their money.

And those people who don't have money, well, this provides a useful way to marginalize their role in public life without resorting to discredited theories of race or appealing to elitism.

By presenting a game in which 90% of the votes are held by perhaps 5% of the players, the ugly anti-democratic face of unconstrained captalism is able to avoid being called out for it devaluing of the value of equality.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
