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 authoritarian tendencies disregards the power of courts.
As a principle, the separation of powers in Western liberal democracies is vital in preventing the excesses of power by a tyrannical individual or organization.
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 comparable to fundamental rules in physics and mathematics, emphasizing its importance in maintaining a balanced system of governance.
Author summary: Jenrick's plans mirror Trump's authoritarian approach.
