But when the vast majority elected - like 60 out of 40 - got elected on the same platform, the public who elected them pretty much expects to get what they paid for. Especially when it only should take 51 to get it.

You are making the assumption that they were elected on the same platform which because they arent all elected in the same election cycle isnt necessarily true. Not to mention that much of thier elected platform may no longer be relevant in lieu of recent events. Globally you can make your arguement and not be wrong but at the same time not be completely correct either.
