We might be used to a house of 90 elected representatives making decisions for us, but to use the caveat of a ‘public’ consultation to show consensus for the bill is definitely unethical and undemocratic, particularly since a separate poll that is relatively more ‘public’ states otherwise. For a Government which claims to be more consultative and open to feedback, this definitely will go down as a major dark stain in it’s attempts to reform the policy-making process.
