As election day approaches those who decide to vote and those conscientiously deciding to abstain will base their decisions on many factors some founded upon the effects personally of their choice and/or what would be considered best in the interests of the country as a whole. The range of opinions of magistrates is as wide as the range of opinions of other intelligent life forms.
Like others involved in the "law" we are more aware than most of the cascade of legislation that has poured from 10 Downing Street since 1997. By the latest estimates 4,300 new offences have been created in that period; 50 criminal justice bills have been enacted. By contrast between 1988 - 1996 494 new offences were created. D.Cameron has been quoted yesterday as saying that were the Tories to form the next government his first Queen`s Speech would include a "great repeal Bill" of Labour red tape and rarely enforced criminal offences. It is unlikely that those intentions were they to become reality would find objections from right minded folk.
