According to John Locke, individual consent was the origin of political legitimacy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Locke

This concept has not yet been resolved in modern politics, where artificial political legitimacy trumps individual consent.

The only foreseeable solution from the OSE perspective is the reduction of size of governing bodies and units - where political legitimacy has a higher chance of accommodating individual consent.
