I understand what you're saying Steve but obviously the flip side of that is any government that goes against the wishes of a majority of its own citizens too often is a government that looses it's right to govern. We elect representatives, not rulers.
Besides, my reply was in response to a poster who claimed an unofficial and partisan poll indicates how this issue should be decided. If I have to choose between that and election results, i'll go with the ballot every time.
