Q: If democracy retains ultimate control, then are the essentials of democracy truly not affected?
A: " ' The only way in which a planned society differs from that of the nineteenth century is that more and more spheres of social life, and ultimately each and all of them, are subjected to state control. But if a few controls can be held in check by parliamentary sovereignty, so can many.... In a democratic state sovereignty an be boundlessly strengthened by plenary powers without renouncing democratic control.' "(hayek,76)
