Background
We believe the aforementioned Solicitors, Barristers & Judges, do and have served a very important and valued position in society. However we think they are intrinsically linked to upholding and preserving the current legislation. In our view this could lead to a conflict of interest preventing them adequately representing the views of constituents wanting to change.
