Direct action works?

It seems as though direct action is the only thing that governments listen to. Perhaps if hundreds of thousands of people protested in London, they might drop this stupid ID card idea.

Save Parliament

I heard about this on Radio 4 this afternoon. The current government is trying to get rid of that pesky, interfering need to put laws to the Houses to approve. They want the ability to arbitrarily create, amend or abolish laws. Oh, of course they won't abuse it. History shows that people never abuse power. http://www.saveparliament.org.uk/. This really is an attempt to fundamentally remove the need for Parliament - which can be said to be the only thing that can prevent a leader from enacting all sorts of wild legislation.
