Because I do not wish to lend credence or support to the idea that political authority lies with the People.

Anthony replies: Well, if the People don't take authority, then it will be inmposed upon them, and that's worse.
If you think that mainstream parties have effectively done this already, then vote for a non-mainstream party.

H replies: It's not that I don't like any of the parties, in fact I'm quite attracted to some of the policies offered by at least two of them. But voting implies that the choice between correct and incorrect ideas is one which is based on their relative popularity, which is repugnant. Essential principles should not be up for debate.
