The use of press releases to gauge/sway public opinion before parliamentary review is an anti democratic action.
The increasing use of press releases which are aimed at assessing public reaction should be curtailed and items should be debated properly in parliament and reported only after this action has been taken. The use of the press as an organ of propaganda can only have a deleterious effect on the trust that parliament is held in by the British public. Parliament should be allowed to take disciplinary action against individuals or parties who override parliaments primacy with these tactics, which are now used on a daily basis
