UK Parliament to be Made Redundant?
caluml writes "The Guardian is reporting that the current UK government is trying to sneak a new law though in an innocuously named bill called 'The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill,' which would get rid of that pesky, interfering need to put laws to the Houses of Commons and Lords to approve. There is already the Parliament Act that can be used to force laws through, which was used recently for the hunting bill. " The original coverage is a bit old but the bill is still being tossed around in parliament. The text of the bill is also available via the UK Parliament website.
We need something like this in Canada do. Right now we have a representative of the queen here in Canada. It is one of the most retarded and useless positions in Canada.
Why is somone who is not democratically elected, in a political office.
Good thing the UK is safer now that they've virtually abolished the private ownership of firearms. There's now no chance of those dangerous and unseemly uprisings that generally happen when parts of the govornment are bypassed.
Never forget that any govornment that does not fear it citizens will eventually abuse its citizen.
Looks like the govornment in the UK is losing its fear.
