It's because most laws are now made in Brussels by the unelected. Westminster is nowt but a glorified County Council whose task is to rubber stamp wot the foreigners tell them to. I confidently expect the PM to be issued with a "Mayoral Chain" before too many more years go by. Like local authorities the world over the Government now has very limited powers. Frankly I dunno why we bother with them any longer. It is all a sham but I suppose it gives 620 otherwise unemployable layabouts and spivs something to keep them off the streets.
AND just imagine the rise in Jobseekers if the media had nothing to talk to one another about ...... "And now over to Fred Bloggs in Tunisia who will tell us all about his opinion of what is happening in Syria because he is not actually allowed to report from Syria but is closer than we are in London."
"Well Huw, as you know I am not allowed to report from Syria but I can tell you that things look pretty bad from here and now back to Huw in London"
"That was Fred Bloggs in Tunisia, thank you Fred...... and now at Westminster the plight of circus animals was debated on a private members bill signed by 3 Liberal Democrats so over to Nick Robinson .... what can you tell us Nick?"
"Well Huw, tempers rose in the House today when .... etc"
