Summary
The three major parties have come to a deal
to regulate the press following the phone hacking scandal. One of the main
points of this deal is the royal charter which gets its authority directly from
the queen; this was something that the Tories came up with, the labour party
insisted on a law which would stop the royal charter from being changed and the
last point is one they all came up with: there will be big fines and apologies.
All parties have agreed on this deal but
they went and bragged about the points in the deal they came up with and they
are convinced it was the most important point.
My
opinion
This is a great deal, after this phone
hacking scandal there had to be something to regulate the press. Although it is
a country with free press, the press went too far with the hacking of phones to
get their most important news items. It is funny to see that after the deal had
been struck all three parties went and made it into a story where they would
come out as the most important part of the discussion. This is a great example
why I cannot stand politicians; it always seems as if the only thing they care
about is the time they get in front of a camera.
