I believe Vyse already offered to lend his aid when it comes down to the council. If so, we would have some force to subdue revolts. However, I cannot see the citizens responding too kindly to this.

Overall, though, it comes down to one thing. Questions about whether or not the council should be pushed through have been posted publicly several times and no decent objections were given. The opposers have no one to blame but themselves if we were to succeed. Either they give proper alternatives, or they be grateful for what they're getting.
