delegated legislation
Delegated legislation is the ingenious mechanism by which parliament offloads the headache of lawmaking to bureaucrats and ministries. Whether this transfer actually amplifies democracy or just buries citizens under endless footnotes remains a thrilling mystery. It promises procedural efficiency but often delivers a labyrinth of obscure regulations no one ever reads. Meanwhile, legislators wash their hands, officials don the cloak of rule-makers, and ordinary people discover their rights tucked away in fine print. Use with caution: democracy in name, administration in practice, and accountability nowhere to be found.
