Isn't that what a government should do? What the people want?

And if people want to keep the definition of marriage as it is now?
Further: people want unlimited health care with no waiting lists.
People dont want to be taxed.
So, should government quadruple funding to health care while cutting taxes to 0%?
It's what the people want. [/b][/quote]
Now to clarify: I am a card carrying Federal Liberal (quite literally, I pay the membership dues and everything)
An NDP government probably would do something as you described.
Now both the Income Tax and the GST were supposed to be temporary so when Canadians ask for less tax they have a right.
In the perfect governmental system what the people want is what the government should want. But last I checked there was no clear majority in favor or against gay marriage. In that case go with what is socially and morally right. Morales state equality, not descriminate against sexuality.
