Subject: RE: BS: Last chance to save UK democracy!!!
i think that in his distinctive poetic style, weelittledrummer has hit the nail on the head.

The system is as prone to abuse by the executive as it ever was, as they are as accountable to the courts as they ever were.

_________

George, my point is, that if this bill does, as people are suggesting, strip supremacy from parliament and give it to the executive, the courts will not accept it as lawful.

The only justification the executive will have for applying it would be that it was the will of parliament, and that suggestion would be laughed out of court as it would be blatantly suggesting that parliament was deliberately undermining it's own supremacy.

No parliament may bind itself or any future parliament and no court will uphold any attempt to undermine that principle.

The battle ground therefore, if what has been claimed above is true, is in the courts. The legality should be publicly questioned.

I haven't read the whole text, but it loks to me like an attempt to deal with red tape where it clogs up the system.
