The new enabling act

Yesterday, Tuesday, the UK Government disenfranchised one quarter of the UK electorate.

Forced MPs to queue for what was the worse theme park ride ever.

MPs tweeted their disgust at the ridiculous spectacle, but most of them voted for it anyway.

Democracy dies from a thousand cuts, this was pretty deep.

Fresh from illegally suspending Parliament last year to remove scrutiny on Brexit, JRM forces the Commons to abandon a perfectly fine and working hybrid debate and voting system that allowed up to 50 MPs in the chamber to speak and vote, whilst the rest could be in their offices or homes.

Not now.

Although a weak concession was offered to allow MPs unable to travel to Westminster to debate, they would be barred from voting.

There is 27 days until the no deal Brexit become inevitable, and the Government is undermining democracy and scrutiny.

If your MP is over 70, has an underlying health issue, or someone in their household has, or they live too far from London to return home because they are not one of the rich landed gentry with a second London home and nanny, then you will not be represented in Parliament now.

And the Government whipped their MPs to support it, which they did.

A Government showing contempt for democracy and due process, an advisor who literally has Parliament in contempt as well as the country, now is able to ride roughshod over the country. An 80 seat majority wasn't enough, avoiding scrutiny and answering awkward questions had to be enabled.

Most people will just see the pictures of a line of Mps taking 45 minutes to snake their way from Portcullis House to the Lobby, but a major part of democracy died yesterday, and Mogg laughed and joked about it.
