Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Reform bill climbdown fails to satisfy critics
Critics of a new law giving ministers greater powers have renewed their attack despite a major climbdown, warning that the government got its proposals “badly wrong”.
It’s still rumbling on. I finally heard from my mp – I mailed her to ask why she voted the way she did on the amendments on the bill. Her answer was basically that she didn’t know – she had thought just reading through would tell her, but it didn’t, so this tells me that despite a number of ppl contacting her, she didn’t do her research, and she just voted the way she was told.
(And don’t bother telling me that they have lots to do and can’t possibly be expected to keep track of all legislation they vote on, that’s a cop out, and she was warned. Boy was she warned.)
🙁
