My point is that people do care about it and are not driven by 'media hype'.
And yes they're a protest group - for those that have lost loved ones in last few years. Why is that a bad thing? Protest is a powerful right in this country and should be encouraged. Our current government sees it as something to be suppressed and criminalised.

I suspect a large percentage of the public will not really care.
Nothing you have posted changes that, since by definition it implies a percentage will care.
I dont doubt some people are genuinely annoyed, but I dont for one minute believe the media driven dramatic phrases that are thrown about.

And my opinion is that I suspect more people care about it that your opinion states.

Nothing has changed, it still had zero effect on me (No one has given an example of how it directly affected their life).
As sad as those stories may be, the fact is they would all have happened, exactly the same, regardless of the "party" [or none party] happening.

The 'parties' themselves may not have a direct effect on people's lives, but the pattern and attitude of those involved certainly will.
Those we elect to govern us should hold themselves to the highest standards possible.
The fact that apparently a percentage of the country think behaviour of our elected officials doesn't matter, and that as long as 'I'm alright and not directly affected and I'm getting something out of them' means that we shouldn't care about what happens to others and how actions impact them saddens me to where we are going as a country and as a world.
