  1. 'The Labour administration […] intends to flatten social, political – and therefore class – conflict, and reassert the state as the sole “legitimate” agent of politics in Britain.'

    'One could reasonably suggest that the particular vitriol reserved for Muslims by the Labour leadership comes down to an as yet not-entirely-tameable internationalist consciousness among Muslim communities in Britain, and their proven willingness to exert this electorally.'

  2. A small minority of well-born men exercised despotic power over their fellow citizens in the name of an aristocratic conception of society, on two occasions around 400 BC.

    After military defeat, "the Athenian Ekklesia (Assembly) soon divided into three camps: those who favored a "patrios politeia" (ancestral constitution), those who desired to keep a democracy, and those who wanted an oligarchy." Opposition to any resolution was mainly led by the democratic faction. Debate and inaction continued until September 404 BC, when the Spartans chose to intervene. They asked the Athenians to choose thirty men to manage all polis affairs.
    "The Thirty at first avoided crafting a definite constitution. They sought instead to a) establish an interim functioning government; b) eliminate opponents; and c) reform the laws".
