And that is completely wrong. You can call for polls, you can look for experts on education institutions, you can look for unions, you can bring some one from the EFF. There is a lot of options if you will.

Their decisions have been proven harmful to the citizens at the same time that benefits economically the elites, that's the very definition of malice in government. That's one of the reasons people emigrated from Europe to America, to fly from a corrupt system of nobility and serfdom.
> It's all down to exposure - if you are invested in an issue, find a way to get involved (reach out to you representative etc.) and have a voice in the discussions, rather than waiting idly by and demonstrating against the result.
I thought that it was about fairness and to represent all citizens, but if it boils down to "exposure" then money can buy that. When did it become 1 dollar 1 vote? And why should we accept it willingly?
Your argument is "this is how it is, so it is good". Status quo is not immutable and has not morality by itself.
