They should be required to repeal 2 laws for each law enacted. > Frank, how many laws are there? [...] It's probably significant that law is a mass noun as well as a count noun - it means they can measure it by the ton, or perhaps by the mile (kilometre if you're subject to the Code Napoleon), instead of having to consider individual laws. Next year's Queen's Speech will start "My government will enact a net increase of 150 tons of law before the end of this parliament".
