I am not a citizen of the UK nor from the US, if this system is enough for you, then by all means feel free to disagree.

In my book an elected official is someone who was voted in office. If you are not elected then you are appointed. If you are appointed you do not need to be accountable because the people cannot revoke your mandate nor can they vote you out.

To me it seems inconceivable that someone who was appointed can decide to bring forward such a law and not have to defend it.
