Yes, and as awful as that sounds, this is the right way of doing things.
What must happen now is that the minister opens a public consultation, and then you go out and bring along every single ally you can muster and you make yourself heard, and you convince everyone and their mothers that these guys can never be elected again.
And if the rest of the country doesn't agree with you, then they don't.
The only issue is when money comes into play, and it's used to amplify the message from one side and drown out the other. Then the country is fucked.
