I think the govt. can only do what the people give them ‘permission’ to do in this case. Doesn’t matter who is in power. It’s not a war in a far flung land that’s ‘easy’ to understand and get behind (or reject).
Perhaps a potential miscalculation was not stoking fear and concern earlier to mentally prepare people for what might / is coming and better soften them up for the sacrifices they now need to make.
100% agree
We were about a week ahead of the govt. cancelled all our plans, locked ourselves down.
