"In September last year, the UK Parliament rejected a bill to allow assisted dying for the terminally ill, with 330 MP's voting against it and 118 backing the measure, despite an opinion poll showing it was supported by 82% of the public. The same poll suggested that 44% of people would break the law to help a loved one to die, risking a jail sentence of up to 14 years."
What happened to democracy? Aren't those MP's suppose to represent the will of their constituents in the voting process?
