They must do what they believe! is in our best interests, not what the electorate thinks.
You astound me, David. I never expected anyone of reasonable intelligence to want the State to substitute for what s/he wants what it merely believes (even if that belief has a solid foundation in logic and research, which it rarely has).
Am I to suppose you would go along with the, quite possible, decision of a government which believed that the whole criminal judicial system was a waste of time, since 70-or-whatever-it-is% of those arrested plead or are found guilty, to abolish it altogether and simply to lock up those the police believed were guilty (or merely social nuisances whom the public would like to see off the streets), unless, in the one tribunal still provided, to show we were 'fair', they could prove their innocence?
