Surely the principle of "the politicians" taking responsibility to
decide which laws to enforce is only a variation on the opinions of
individuals? Let us not lose sight of the fact that laws generally
originate with politicians, and it is increasingly obvious that in the UK at
least the politicians in general care little for the facts and consequent
impact of their decisions, and far more about the electioneering value of
their actions.
It is being rather optimistic, even naive to expect most
politicians to admit that they got it wrong, and to retract recently enacted
legislation. They would prefer to ruin an entire industry and cost the
taxpayers millions, as any ex-pistol shooter, farmer, abattoir operator,
road haulage contractor etc. would confirm. Moral courage would appear to be
in short supply in certain political circles.
