>it's impossible to get anything done if every time you open your mouth you have street protests from the industries you're considering removing protectionist measures from.

I don't understand how the demonstrations are preventing getting anything done?

If it's a small minority protesting, it won't change anything. If it's a mass demonstration, maybe there's a reason for it. Maybe the deal shouldn't be done.

A fundamental reason as to why we should elect, and delegate to those who do.

But that deal is a draft.
