3. THE SILENT MAJORITY ‘WIMP OUT’

Too often our agenda is set by a vigorous and raucous minority who make noise sufficient to convince authorities they speak for far more people than is the case.

The majority are ‘middle of the road’ people but not given to responding – rather they remain silent and apathetic. So it is that interest groups influence agendas in an unfortunate manner, because authorities react to their suggestions in order to pacify their vociferousness.

The fact that we allow these myriad of splinter groups to unduly influence our country, is a factor ripping away at the blessings this country should offer.
