Out of your most paranoid nightmares...
Or as Daniel Finkelstein writes:
In my nightmare, Tony Blair finally decides that he is fed-up with putting Bills before Parliament... He decides to put a Bill to End All Bills before the Commons, one that gives him and his ministers power to introduce and amend any legislation in future without going through all those boring stages in Parliament.
When I read this, I thought he was joking... But apparently - he isn't.
