It's weird...we've got universal support in these so-called "western liberal democracies" but they don't do anything about it. How can you call a place a representative democracy governed by the will of the people, if it doesn't enact a policy that is overwhelmingly supported?? Doesn't that show more clearly than many things, that the will of the people is not in charge?...sad. The people want it but it doesn't happen because someone else decides that. That's not a democracy, right? Then why do they keep pretending they're democracies? Lip-service, democracy in name only, just window dressing for whatever you want to call that government style. But it's not the will of the people, right? I mean, this shows it. Doesn't it?
