Governments exist by the will of the people alone, just sometimes the people or the government forgets this.
Someone in another forum was spouting off about "political will"... as if that's a thing. There is what a group of people want or will tolerate, and what they don't want or won't tolerate, and nothing else. Politics is the mechanism to impose that rough consensus. The political aspect by definition being coercion of behavior and restriction of liberty. That isn't necessarily bad, but if coercion is going to be implemented, it had better be for a very good reason.
