Opposition is growing to the Government’s latest attempts to enact to itself powers formally exercised by Parliament.  The Bill is drawn so widely that Government Ministers could rewrite current Laws and enact new Laws that at present Parliament only can make.  The Government claims that “safeguards” are in place, but no matter which way you look at it, the Government will have wide powers that it did not have before. It might not be so much a case of the “Divine Right of Kings” but rather one of the “Divine Right of the Executive”, once the Bill becomes Law.[1]
