In the case of the government, that's what we elected them to do.

We, as a country, elected them. Being on the losing side sometimes is
part of the system.

At least two other countries in the Union didn't elect them.

They may not have voted for them, but they did take part in the process of

Democracy is a repeating process.

All parties have "demands" for many things. I don't see voter fatigue
in elections which have so far been held many times more often than a
