Too many that are going to be running for office will not push the issue because if they do, it will come out that they knew full well about all the true details all along, and voted knowing those details.. Then it will come out that in order to posture for their own election, they hindered and harmed the progress that could have been made, and ended up prolonging the situation and making things worse.
