Petition Remove Prime Ministerial right to push Emergency Legislation

More details

Over the last few decades, successive Prime Ministers have pushed through legislation in knee jerk reaction to unfolding news stories; often to the detriment of the majority of citizens.

Part of this is based upon the need to appear effective, to appeal to popularism or as a result of a set of circumstances that provide a mechanism to push "agenda" legislation.

Such emergency legislation should be bared from implementation.
