Take this case: the law was enacted two years ago by a different government, the regulator follows the law as enacted, and yet no one cares about this little nuance.
In reality, it's a decent technocratic government trying to reverse a decade of mismanagement and fighting about five hundred fires at the same time. It's OK to good.
The party currently in power enthusiastically supported the OSA when it was enacted, and has been enthusiastic about implementing it. They're not just mechanically enforcing something that they inherited.
Labour & Lib Dems may have voted against the exact text presented to the house on a number of occasions, but it's well documented that they not only supported the general principle of the bill but wanted it to go further.
Funny how that works, when the government I voted for is in, they're a good government and all problems are caused because the previous one was terrible.
Democracy: everyone's somehow smarter than everyone else.
They should just hand it back to the king, the democracy experiment has failed there.
