Hypocrisy. The people vote no, the politicians don't like it, ignore it and will rerun the referendum a couple of years later.

Tony Blair is in the thick of it...makes me sick.
You aren't the only ones. The voters in my state have rejected a referendum to open a so called "Indian" casino not once but THREE times. Yet guess what's coming up on the ballot again this year? Of course if the pro-casino faction (primarily made up of certain state legislators and Harras casino chain) get their way it won't be on the ballot and they'll get it passed in spite of the peoples wishes.
