The Libertarian Party UK has issued the following Press Release regarding the Draft Constitutional Renewal Bill.
Press Release March 27 2008
The Libertarian Party UK is pleased to see that contained within
part 1 of the Draft Constitutional Bill are plans to repeal sections
123 to 138 of the Serious Organised Crime Act 2005; namely, those
affecting freedom of speech and freedom of assembly around Parliament
Square.
Part 6 however, gives grave cause for concern, in that it allows for
ministers to amend, repeal or revoke any provision by or an Act. The
Libertarian Party UK is appalled that the government should seek to
bypass parliament again following amendments that were built into the
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 that raised similar concerns.
Head of Communications, Chris Mounsey, said, “Part 6 opens the door
to rule by Ministerial fiat. If MPs vote this Bill through, they will
be voting for the abolition of what little power they have left.
“Truly, Parliament will become nothing more than a talking shop,
whilst ministers will sign off legislation without having to consult or
debate with anyone.
“This Bill will transform the UK from a democracy to a dictatorship.”
end.
Got that! It means that Brown will become the Fuhrer of the UK regions reporting to Emperor Barrosso of the European Empire.
So write to your MP today, register your disgust at this misuse of our parliamentary system.
