We elect representatives to act on our behalf, in our best interest, as they see fit. We decry the politician who governs based on poll results on a given issue. Our country political system is designed to NOT act based on the majority opinion, but rather to protect the minority interests. Now, here we are, demanding a vote of the population at large. Why should we have representatives, if everything that one disagrees with the representative council has to go to a vote by the residents. If you don't like the outcome, wait for the next election cycle, and, either run for office or vote someone else in. Too many of you insist on getting your way or you act like children throwing temper tantrums. You people are too old to occupy wall street.
