Which community is that exactly? The community that wasn't able to state an opinion during the election or the community of members who have posted on this thread (the official place for feedback I might add)?

That community would be the 408 people that voted for RichMSN. They read what his positions were and voted for him, expecting him to keep to his views.

I'd have a lot more respect for a politician that didn't barge on with an idea post election that turned out not to be popular with the people that he/she is supposed to represent.

I would have no respect for a politician that promises one thing and then does the opposite after securing the election.


To turn around and change his position based on community feedback, even if that means breaking an election promise is absolutely the right thing to do. I cannot see why anyone would be upset by that, if this is supposed to be a democratic situation.

I guess we will have to disagree on this one. The community already endorsed his actions when they voted for him. To break his promise (s) would be nothing more than betrayal of this community.

Of course, you are entitled to your opinions and I respect that.
