The late Quintin McGarel Hogg, aka Baron Hailsham of St. Marylebone, was a senior figure throughout most of the 20th century in Britain’s Conservative Party, and one of its most prominent thinkers. He served under Margaret Thatcher as lord chancellor, a post more or less equivalent to an American attorney general or an Israeli justice minister. In a speech in 1976, Hogg coined the term “elective dictatorship” to describe the regime in Great Britain. In many ways, mutatis mutandis, it is the system of government in Israel as well.
