Nice piece on the reality of 'political placement' - the arguments don't just drop down like rain - and Maurice Cowling would be proud of you. ...This stuff is going to get through, and part of the tragedy is that the best counter-argument, the quasi-technical 'bad law' one, will win in practice rather than debate with the torrent of Canadian-type cases that will ensue.
