If those opposition parties came to power tomorrow, they would suddenly flip to supporting the kung flu bullshit, while the newly out of power party would suddenly be against it. And, both of the flipped parties would claim to have always held their new positions. There is no voting our way out of this.
Precisely. Except if sentiments were such that the opposition party could not start supporting it without greater loss of power. Just look at how in Ontario, there was explicitly, repellent 'sex education' written by a pedophile, which the Conservatives opposed, until they came to power, at which point they supported it.
Except in non-functioning democracies like Canada, Australia, NZ, and the US where both major parties are just different shades of unaccountable liberals.
Not very surprising. Everywhere the governing parties support this sort of thing, because it increases their powers, while those not in power do not.
