There is a certain arrogance coming across on this discussion that seems to be "put up or shut up!" which is not very helpful. The whole idea of a consultation is to get the views from all parties and to reach a position where most parties are in agreement.
For that to be achieved, the pros and cons need to be considered (not disregarded) and an appropriate response developed.
Enforcing something onto someone who may or may not benefit from it without consideration is worthy of a communist state, not a free country, which I believe the UK is!
