democracy to dictatorship in 3 easy steps...

step one:
create a fancy-named bill such as the "legislative and regulatory reform bill" which permits ministers (i.e. yourself) to modify laws made in parliament.

step two:
get this bill passed on the condition that there will be strict laws (well, they're more like 'guidelines') around its use.

step three:
use your new legislative powers to remove or re-write the above laws, and hey presto - ultimate control.


serious voice:
this is happening in england now. write to your mp and ask them what one earth they're playing at...
