It could be more Sarumanian and possibly even worse, or Wormtonguian, if they held a pseudo 'public meeting' over it then announced at the end that, 'Oh and by the way, none of your votes into this matter today count towards the actual process.'
Been to one of those over the useless destruction of an old-growth forest for a new suburb nearby. It's been entirely empty plots for eight years now.
Folks seem to forget that on an island or peninsula that space is limited and having such a naturally beautiful space surviving for that long should be appreciated.
