"…what we say as citizens has no importance whatsoever, since political actions will be decided in an indeterminate place. …If the process continues, we will soon leave behind the representative regime... This command will no longer be that of the State, which at least occupied an elevated place, but that of the rule, the rule of indeterminate origin. One does not know where the rule comes from, only that one must obey it." Pierre Manent, Metamorphoses of the City (2013), p. 12.
