People elect representatives to represent them, not to compromise and pass the opposition's agenda.

It's forgivable if the representative failed to obtain enough power, but if they have literally any means at their disposal and don't use it, an unwillingness to use all the power the people gave them to do what they elected them to do is a betrayal of those people.
