How do you think a parliament works? It consists of multiple parties who generally don't agree with each other; it does not generally do things as a group.

He is right in that this was tried passed during the summer & world-cup when most people are not paying attention though.

That's clearly not coincidental.

Why would the world cup be a factor?

The big masses are busy with the World Cup and not paying much attention to news in general.

Not to mention that the newspapers themselves are reducing political coverage significantly to give room for the World Cup, so that those who still would like to pay attention have a reduced ability to do so.

FWIW, I think you're asking a legitimate question that should be thoughtfully answered instead of downvoted. I don't know what to call it other than "internet cause fatigue" but it does happen, and I believe that there are lawmakers and bureaucrats that take advantage of it by postponing votes and/or bringing the same issue to vote down the line under a different label.

Hardly a homogenous group
