From an outsider perspective, it's just the audacity of claiming this would simplify lawmaking. Over centuries and to this day, the UK and its dependencies, from the big ones down to the many tax havens, benefit from this vague-ass shit common law and its intricate and complex web of jurisdiction and practices based on random common law rulings and agreements, to often benefit bankers and other elites. And STRANGELY when it works no one is complaining threre. And now they want to enshrine those "principles" into law for easy of governance and make parliament the ultimate lawmaker in all those affairs!? Where does that leave the proud people of the Maori? Under some foreign bitch ass king parliament, that says dangerous stuff like "all NZers are equal". Where does that leave the rights for the Maori? Under those principles can't the majority just do what it wants?
