General Urban Cambridge Updates and Rumours

If the majority of people are ignored by the government then creating significant disruptions is justified until the government listens but the government has a mandate to carry out the will of the people and the majority of the people (they dont always do this) but it means they shouldnt crater to the demands of 1 or 2%

The question of what makes an effective movement is an interesting one. There is probably a majority in support of more roads and a minority in support of more cycle infrastructure. But protests need to be somewhat disruptive to get on the radar in the first place.
