That's the job of a politician, to represent the view of the people.
If he believes the majority of people think that way, then he is correct in his actions

If that were true we would never get anywhere. The government needs to listen to evidence, do what is best for the country, and attempt to inform the public into how they made a decision.
It's of course true that if the people put forth a compelling case for remaining classified (such as social impact) then fine. It's seems a terrible way to run a country to do what the masses want irrespective of evidence.
