> the majority wants to have laws to drive up EV sales
It's a representative democracy, so it's the voted–in government officials instead of the majority of people ;)
The difference does matter, because the cause and effect is inverted: the government is elected... And now it passes laws such as this.
It's not the population that voted so the government would pass these laws.
Headlines like this are portraying Norway as some kind of progressive democracy, where the majority wants to have laws to drive up EV sales.
