We in Australia know exactly how it works as we were on the receiving end when the conservatives joined with the communists and screwed we the people over firearms laws.
We also had a front-row seat when the coppers gleefully went about instituting all changes.
We quickly learnt that we were on our own...welcome to the dark corner.
Doesn't seem as though to many want to learn from your misfortune, they just want to repeat it.
