Authoritarian Plans for the Justice System
According to Gareth Roberts, the plans of Robert Jenrick for the justice system resemble those of Trump's America, where a government led by a narcissist with an authoritarian bent disregards the law.
As a politics student in the late 1980s, the separation of powers in Western liberal democracies was considered a fundamental principle, similar to scientific rules.
Separating the judiciary from the executive and legislature was a vital ingredient in providing a check on the potential excesses of power by a tyrannical individual or political organisation seeking to oppress or silence opponents.
This principle is now being threatened by authoritarian plans, similar to those seen in Trump's America.
