Public opinion has a pretty big influence on who is getting voted into public offices. Ignore at your own peril.

Yes, but that is the problem of politicians. Regular people like you or me can safely ignore public opinion. Because we know how dumb public is.

So glad I'm regular and not like 'the others'. Politicians should just be regular like us too and ignore the opinion of their constituencies. They should instead only represent 'the better' people. /s

Politicians are very much our problem.
