Yes, it will show that you can’t really lead your people in this way. They are the people who run the society, and the government depends on the people, not the other way around.
There seems to be a trend in our newly tyrannical governments of using war and terrorism acts on their own citizens. It feels strange being subject tyranny for the first time in my life here in Australia. It is the first time in my life I have felt a government just threaten and bully people to get whatever it wants. There is no going back from this, whoever may win.
