“The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)

—George Berkeley (1685–1753)

—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.”
