UK Parliament to be Made Redundant?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday March 22, 2006 @11:16AM from the politics-the-same-the-world-over dept.

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.

Maybe In Canada Too by Rac3r5 · 2006-03-22 11:37 · Score: 1, Offtopic

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.
