As for the voting, well those in parliament are there because we, the electorate put them there in our stupidity, so we can hardly now say that they do not reflect our society or the opinions of our society. If people vote for historic reasons it is their wish and any attempt to prevent it might be seen as a little undemocratic wouldn't you agree?
