Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges [Stoat]
Or, The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government. From Tacitus, Annals.
I wanted to say something about the Trump victory over Hillary2. I find that writing down what I actually want to say is difficult, because my thoughts are not entirely clear on the matter. But – searching for a latin proverb about the weather, since today’s Fours Head looks to be rather damp1 – I ran across this, which whilst not covering in breadth everything that needs to be said, does I think have depth.
Coming soon: what Hayek and Hobbes have to say on Brexit, and funny quotes from the Times.
Notes
1. I didn’t make the crew, tee hee. But best wishes to Stephen, Conor, Simon L, Dan; and Mr T.
2. In case there should be ambiguity, if I’d had a vote I would have held my nose and voted for Hillary.
