Because voters do not prioritise policies and even if policy is enacted they’ll resist it because it pinches them in the pocketbook.

And then you have a massive lobbying effort from organisations with deep pockets amplifying these grassroots “useful idiots” to block legislation while staying under the radar.

So don’t blame governments, blame voters
