Sometimes politicians have the luxury of just responding to clear public preferences but often they need to show leadership and make tough decisions. Make cuts that aren't popular, change directions on things that aren't sustainable, and even take some risks to solve tough problems. Politicians that just do things that people are clamouring for are poor leaders.

Don't ask people not to debate a topic. Just stop making debatable assertions. Problem solved.
