So a government is formed which is suppoorted by a large number but not a majority of voters. This is usual. This one, however, while popular among 40% of the voters also oppresses a sizeable minority, of which you are one.
It seeks to limit your freedom and confiscate your property. It enacts legislation. It does not get the legislation right.
Will you now say that the spirit of the legislation is such that you agree to having your liberty infringed and your property taken?
Law requires consistency. What operates to protect us against bad government may also protect others against good government.
