We need to avoid this becoming "60% of people should be stopped because 40% disagrees with them". Alas, constitutions have the purpose of defending core values. Separation of powers lets judges strike down gov bills and laws.

We have check and balances. Diverging from them as an emergency measure for the "right" reason only makes it exploitable after the next election, if parties swap.
