This sounds easy until you actually get to grips with how parliamentary procedure and law making actually works.

For example last year I was on a SOC (Standing orders committee) for a 3.5 day conference with 600+ delegates.

We had 120 motions submitted working out Consequentials if motion 15 passes motions 16 99 and 120 fall is non trivial.

We also had to do compositeing of 20/21 motions on one topic which where all worded slightly differently and had slightly different effects took 4 of us about 2/3 of a day just for that.

Another example is say the various legal documents for pensions a choice of a different two letter word can lead to years of legal arguments - the difference between CPI and RPI
