Careful now! The "dopey electorate" are commuters and their views have to be taken in context. Many have never lived with or truly experienced long term a proper public transport network, so you can't bash them for believing in the only form of transport that has worked for them - road.

I believe mines and minerals are considered national treasures and resources and are therefore "owned" by the Nation. I think it's in the constitution somewhere.
