    We don’t have the greatest controls here. A large amount of law passing has been passed ‘under urgency’ for the weakest of reasons - let’s you bypass most of the debate and public opinion. This government has no shame (not that a sense of propriety should be the control we count on to rein in political ambition and ideology… or possibly obligations to donors… ahem).
