To me this is the limit of critique argument.

Why not be inventive and think after the growing illegitimacy of the  
political class. All policies, all moves of this class now stand in  
doubt and in a comical way. A growing number of waged work  
professionals feel the heat of hire/fire economies. This restlessness  
will open the space of imagination. Why build critiques that go  
nowhere, as they rely on classic ideas of incorruptibility,  
invisibility and purity of origins. Maybe time has passed for this.

This is the time to say that people who have conceived a governance  
through UID are in need of being governed. And there is a popular  
surge to say so! By inference, UID is an illegitimate project. Same  
inference could be drawn on many such moves.
