You've painted a sad picture of election-time politics. Not that I disagree with you--in fact, I can all-too-painfully see how your scenario would/could play out in the next two months in the U.S.A. (seeing how this is a national election year).

Seeing how humans notoriously take the path of least resistance, and also how politicians will make the easiest-to-parse campaign pledge which persuades the most voters their way, this could indeed happen here in good ol' America. But, hey, that's politics...
