It is a perfectly rational response for some people to be pissed off about it. Like people who are bound by liquor laws (or even people who don't follow rugby) and see it as the Govt. urgently changing laws to suit their entertainment preference.

"their" entertainment preference? what? you really think the bill is there just cos seymour wants to watch the ruggers at the bar (not saying he doesnt of course)
no, its because its what the general populace wants. or as good as they can tell because they've already wasted enough money on referendums with this whole flag bullshit.
