This is one of those occasions for which I would absolutely maintain that 'the people' do not have any business making policy. 'The people' seem only to understand (sic) what certain of their elite have orated for their consumption.

I find it amusing, if sad, when those who find themselves on the losing side of a political debate assuage their feelings by lashing out at "the people."

"The people" are the repository of all power not specifically delegated to the government, which governs by the will of the people.
