Funny isn't it, imagine a classroom of 35 ten year olds. An ice cream truck stops outside, the class bully stands up and says "we don't want that, we want broccoli", and everyone agrees because they are both scared of the bully, and it's been imposed on them that wanting broccoli and refusing ice cream is the correct way to go.

You can be sure they all really want raspberry ripple with a flake in it.

All it really needs is for the others to say "actually WE don't agree, you are not speaking for US.

And so it is for politics and much current accepted thinking.
