Trust is good I suppose, but at the same time you acknowledge that this issue could bring the constitution to its knees.
I realise that the UK constitution is a somewhat cobbled together string of historical accidents, so some of these issues are unavoidable. What worries me however is that no-one appears to be willing to give the public any assurances that these powers aren't acted upon. As I said before, I think we have a right to know what the deal is here. Brushing it under the carpet makes a mockery of our democracy.
