Commentary on Skene and Parker: The role of a church (or other ideologically based interest group) in developing the law - A plea for ethereal intervention

Abstract

This paper discusses the provocative views of Skene and Parker as to the role of religious or other ideologically based interest groups in law and policy making. We draw distinctions between doctrine and prejudice and between argument and ideology which we trust take the debate further. Finally we recommend an ethereal, democratic, and populist partial solution.
