I wonder how it can be legal to repeatedly undermine constitution and push or vote for later high-court-nullified laws and be allowed to repeat as if nothing was wrong with that. Like drunk driving forever. We ban counter-constitutional activities outside parliament and authorities. Why not inside?

I am much for 3-strikes here.

You want something over democratic control.

Democratically elected representatives are sovereign decision makers. They can vote and decide whatever they want. Constitutions interpreted by high courts can strike laws down only afterwards.

Democracy should lead to stupid laws if people are ignorant, stupid and easily led.

If we had direct democracy, this bill would have passed decades ago.

It seems likely that in direct democracy European constitution would have replaced decades ago and ECJ would be neutered.
