I don't 100% agree. I feel that an elected official should always do what he or she believes is best for the country, accepting that, if their ideas are different than their constituency, they will not be re-elected.

It's important to take the People's voice into account, but a representative should never follow a course of action that he or she thinks is immoral because it is popular.
