Bumblingninny - If I don't like a neighbours renovations and get all our other neighbours to also protest, the local council will take into account our objections but if the design meets the criteria set by the council it will get approved.
We vote for representatives in a democracy - not on every issue. There has to be give and take. I voted Liberal in the last Federal election and did not like many of their policies. But you have to balance up the good with the bad. I think it is a mistake for you to use this argument.
We have Ethanol added to our Petrol. If we had a vote how many people would have voted for it? We have Fluoride in our drinking water. If we had a vote how many people would have voted for it? The Government has announced the building of a second airport in Sydney. If we had a vote of Badgery's Creek residents how many people would have voted for it? The State Government is building the West Connex in Sydney and none of the people living near the Tunnel entry/exits want it near them.
There are zillions of examples.
