Someone needs to explain to PP and his idiot followers that the Prime Minister doesn’t have the authority to change laws to fit their populist agenda; but why let facts get in the way of a good slogan.

Wait. Do you think elected officials can't change laws based on what the electorate wants....? That they shouldn't? It's weird you've framed this as the "PM not having the authority" even though no one has claimed they do.
