Govts have ignored demonstrations, petitions and voters and citizens screaming for all sorts for decades.
Odd on this 'very extreme' issue then they seem to want to listen now.

A little unfair, I think. The present government has made several u-turns on its thinking in the face of public opinion. Of course they were criticised for it just as they would have been criticised for not taking public feeling into account. For instance, hey u-turned on the sale of the forests because the public made it clear they did not want it. That started off with a petition...
