These are more illusions than real consultations, as when the public says we do not want something (such as government involvement in books in schools), they go ahead and do it anyway. We said we do not want a provincial police force, but voilà: Smith created one anyway. Smith does not care what the public wants. Smith cares about advancing her own agenda.
