So waht happens wehn 70% of the oublic disagrees with a law that is passed by the government that they themselves put into power (supposed) by their power of democratic processes?
So let's say that they have lots of unions about that matter and decide to threaten their particular state or province with a strike that will cripple said state or province.... however, the state claims to have no power of the national law and that to attempt to comply with the public would be an insult to democracy..
That ideal is flawed however... if the purpose of democracy is to give the people of power of self government.. THEN WHY should the government that the People put into power have the ability to refuse to comply to ANYTHING that a majority of the public wishes?
That would be like you hiring me to renovate your house, and i decide to do it my OWN way agaist your wishes.
this is inspired by waht happening in Fraance.
