Correct, it’s a flawed democracy, for many reasons, not least of which is the over-representation of older rural voters who are religious and frankly insane (but I repeat myself). Happily they’re the ones who will die first to the climate apocalypse.
Anyway, that’s why polls showing 51% approval of any policy are politically irrelevant. Except in this case popular approval for measures limiting car usage and meat eating probably hovers in the single digits.
