The opposite of freedom is domination. An agent is said to be unfree if she is “subject to the potentially capricious will or the potentially idiosyncratic judgement of another” (Pettit, 1997: 5).
In a little over a month UK citizens will know whether they will be ruled for the next 5 years by an ingenue Marxist, Ed Miliband, a priveleged Hampstead idealist who has never held a job, or needed to, in the real world. A man at the heart of the greatest immigration inlfux in the history of the UK. A man who can only say of immigration, 'sorry we got it wrong' and move on.
A man who knows nothing of the daily indignities for the the indigenous UK citizen; overcrowding, lack of places for one's chldren in schools, curtailment of freedom of speech because of political correctness, medical services curtailed by over demand, one could go on but one doesn't because of fear of the thought police.
So where is the freedom in that?
