When you have massive parts of the population telling you they're not going to vote for you again if you support a piece of legislation, I'd say it's reasonable to say you are betraying your voters when you don't even reconsider your position.


"Massive parts of the population"?

You mean a handful activists? The people at large do not care one bit.

You can claim that you're acting in their best interest, so they should be counted as "on your side", but that's obviously false.


Who have you seen not reconsider their position?
