Lawmakers are supposed to legislate by consent, in which case no force should be necessary. If it is, they clearly don’t have the consent of the people, and the consequent legislation should be deemed illegitimate.
Members of Parliament are not politicians but legislators, because they do not frame policy. That is the role of government. Parliament’s role is to scrutinise those policies and hold government to account when these are repugnant.
They are making a mockery of the separation of powers and their role as representatives of the people.
