This whole situation raises important questions about our democracy. No one voted for this and it was not part of the so-called Coalition Agreement. It cannot be seriously argued that this is emergency legislation of some kind either (even allowing for an extremely generous definition of 'emergency') as the NHS is not in crisis. So...?
Beyond that - and as in all things this government does - this seems mostly a question of picking up where the Major government left off. You also have to wonder what the LibDems think they're doing, because there's really no way this could ever reflect well on them...
