So if for a moment you thought that what the electorate wants
really matters to politicians, think again. Since when did they

I'm sure there was some opinion poll that put transport something
like fourth in the list of voter concerns, but I guess this is
mostly to do with traffic congestion and fuel tax, not the
railways!


That's right. Focus groups have told them that rail transport isn't
an issue.

somewhat.
