*daylia*, why should an elected government not have the right to pass any law that brings it into line with its own the Charter of Rights?

If your bone of contention is the manner in which the Canadian system operates in a parlimentary vote, there is always the American system or variations there of.

In Canada, if a party member does not wish to follow the dictates or platform of the majority of his/or her elected political party, they may always leave the Party and sit as an independant in Parliament. It may be a bit convoluted but it doesn't sidestep democracy. You still have your vote, represent those who sent you there and you may occupy your seat until such time as you are voted out by your constituents. You don't like something as an MP, put your money where your mouth is.

You don't like lobbyists? Close the golf courses.
