"The interest to keep the constitution intact ? and thereby keep government to a certain level ? will always stand back to the special interest to boost power. The reason for this is that the constitution is a general interest, whereas power is always specific. And specific interests will always triumph over general interests, simply because specific interests need to be ? and are ? fought for, whereas general interests are often victims due to their 'tragically common' nature." Column by Per Bylund.
