“Well then, it should all just go away,” says the President in Tom Clancy’s Clear And Present Danger, the “it” in question being the secret and deeply illegal war he has launched against the Colombian drug cartels. For a writer of mass-market fiction, Clancy was an unusually acute observer of the political animal. “They want

It’s Brexit all over again. Democracy does what democracy has a habit of doing: putting those who have received the most votes into seats and into power.
