Just because a government is democrarically elected, it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be held to sccount for its actions. If the public blindly accept policies and actions, there is nothing to stop them, if they so desire to raking more extreme actions.

History tells us, as recent as the last century, what can happen when extreme parties have been elected and were allowed to continue thier actions unchecked.

I am not saying that the Condemns are the same, but if actions and policies hurt those who are least ale to stand up for themselves, then those of us with a conscience have the right to voice our opinions, and say what we think is unacceptable, so hopefully when the opportunity to make our democratic voice heard, enough people remember the actions.

With regards to the next level, i.e. direct action, this has an effect of those MPs in marginal constituences to put pressure on their executives to moderate their policies/actions.
