I do understand the frustration with going through a political process to get change, but it's not like it's something that rises to the level of the civil rights movement. It's not a life-or-death thing.

Voting specific politicans out of office doesn't change a law automatically and beside that tirsales said "most governments", not "only the german government". The process is a "little bit" more difficult than in the US here. In Europe we would have to start such a political change in nearly all EU-countries and then we would have to start again on EU-level (to change their directives). It's nearly impossible if you consider the different laws, constitutions and election systems within the EU-countries. Even five or ten lifespans wouldn't be enough...
