But sure, I guess we’ll find out. Not everyone has the maturity to admit when their wrong, so I understand why you won’t, but you really should have some understanding of the basics before dressing your opinion up as facts, as it’s only you you’ll embarrass.
The UCP is no stranger to attempting and failing at things they can’t do, attempting and failing to act outside of their jurisdiction, and blowing significant tax payer dollars on half baked schemes. But who knows, maybe they’ll get one right.

They have successfully litigated against the federal government in the past.
In either case, I believe Smith and co were careful when they said "government body". Feel free to litigate the constitutionality of a plan she has not yet revealed. It's unfortunate for them that your comments here were unavailable to them, as I'm sure they would never have put any consideration into the idea if they had seen them.
