Legal Question: LC Authority and Voter Influence
#4

Your honour, if it so please the court;

I cannot help but raise an objection to these legal questions, as I consider them to be addressing political rather than legal matters. Seeing how there are no regulations in regards to what may be sent via regional TG to the region, merely a requirement that the Delegate provide approval for the sending of regional TG's, I cannot see how the Court can rule on these matters. It would be improper for the Court to establish such regulations where there are none in existence, this being a legislative function of the Assembly.

In regards to the third question, which unlike the first two I believe the court can rule, I would argue that by limiting the approval the Delegate can grant for regional TG's to specific approval of individual telegrams an undue burden would be created - the Delegate should be at liberty to make this determination, and should they wish to grant approval for a broad category of telegrams that is their right.

Fundamentally, your honour, I believe that these are political questions, not legal questions. The Court should not become involved in a political disagreement between the office of the Prime Minister and the Local Council Representative to the Assembly.
