Full Idea
On what grounds can it be claimed that I have an obligation to obey the laws which are made in my name by a person who has no obligation to vote as I would, and no way of discovering what my preferences are?
Gist of Idea
What authority have laws made by a representative who is unlike me, and doesn't know me?
