I was hoping for the same. A public opposition of negative outcomes. Since you're from the UK, living in a state of disbelief might not mean anything extra to you. You don't need to identify with anything else. This might be me making assumptions about the UK, but I think I'm right.
But for some other people it's not that easy. They will attempt to group and follow what someone else called "Pack behaviour". And a public put down would help.
