I think some of that is true and the PM certainly hasn't made it better. However, it is time for these people to leave, they have lost the support of the majority and are only hurting themselves now. The more militant they get the more the government can point and say, I told you so. The protesters have made the government look bad, much of it self inflicted but the longer they persist the more the government will benefit. There is a time to realize you have done all you can and anything more is counter productive.
