Consider Phlebas: The Difference Principle, Wealthy Swedes And A Question

Both Paul and I have a liking for Rawls, and he actually understood it when we studied it, I merely scraped a pass. It's nice therefore to see he still gets mentioned in discussions, this time on Consider Phlebas:
That would seem to have not just radically generally anti-Rawlsian but also radically anti-democratic implications, because it would cut the link between a legitimate government and some form of consent to it by refusing to acknowledge there was anything that needed to be consented to.
Paul, care to give Robert an opinion?
