Whats the point of this story? You can often tell a bad deal generally at first blush regardless of how badly you might want it to be a good one unless key elements and details are being deliberately hidden.
We dont need more time. The people who hammered this out have spent thousands of hours on it. John Q. Taxpayer are going to have to let the people we elected to represent us make a goddamned decision.
I'm getting sick of 'Public Consultation.'
If the people elected to represent us cant make a decision on behalf of the people they represent then what is the point in having them?

You never want to let the "people" decide. "People" are idiots. When elected representatives abrogate their duty to govern, stupidity ensues - see Kingdom, United for reference.
