The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill is now awaiting report stage/third reading.
It will grant ministers the right to dictate law without recourse to Parliament i.e democracy.
The very least we can do is write a letter so Blair cannot pretend there is no desent.

Here is my letter.
You should write one to.

Dear Tony Blair,

The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill now awaiting report stage/third reading

I am writing to ask you to stop the passage of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill in its present form. The above bill known colloquially as 'The Abolition Of Parliament Bill', gives me grave concern for the future of our parliamentary democracy. No minister should have the right granted by this bill, the right to dictate law without proper parliamentary debate and scrutiny. Furthermore, the safeguards in this bill that prevent a minister arbitrarily imposing immoral and unjust law, consisting in the most part of a minister's own recognisance, are no protection at all against unfettered abuse. And in fact even these meaningless precautions could be legislated away without recourse to Parliament if the bill is passed.

Mr Blair, in its present form, this bill must be stopped. It must be stopped, or your name will become synonymous with the complete destruction of the centuries old tradition of parliamentary democracy in Britain. I cannot believe you wish this to be your legacy to our nation. Please Mr Blair, stop this bill. I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely


Simon Mullen

An MP earns £55,118 from your taxes every year.

They need guidance from us as much as we need guidance from them.
