Public opinion becomes politically relevant when it

Public opinion becomes politically relevant when it influences the decision of the government. This means that the views and interests of a significant portion of the population have been taken into consideration by the government when making decisions that affect society. When public opinion is heard and acted upon, it can lead to positive changes in policies and laws that benefit the people. Criticisms of people in power and support of the government can be part of public opinion, but they do not necessarily make it politically relevant unless they have a direct impact on government decisions.
