The purpose of elections is to choose those who will represent us to the Queen, and who will exercise her delegated authority in our interests. Note, exercise her authority, not ours. That is the critical difference between a constitutional monarchy and a republic. The difference might seem trivial to many, but the implications are in fact vast. What is the task of MPs? Are they there to execute the will of the people, or to frame laws according to the revealed will of God, for the good of the people? - The real Brexit issue: Where does authority come from?, MATTHEW ROBERTS
You will philosophise men into hell, but never into heaven.

The so-called "Age of Reason" was really an Age
of Unbelief, for its strongest protagonists were
corrosive men like Hume, Kant, Voltaire, who
measured the growth of reason by its alienation
from God. . . . The sovereignty of reasonable
people replaced the sovereignty of God.
--Fulton John Sheen (1895-1979)
_Philosophies At War_ [1943]
