Politics and law-making

Andrew Mitchell identifies some of the political influences on law reform and assesses their implications for law-making

This article relates to AQA AS Unit 1 (parliamentary law making: political, media and pressure group influences), OCR AS Unit G152 (sources of law: impetus for law reform) and WJEC LA2 (law reform methods).

Law reform and the law-making process do not take place in a vacuum. These activities are often subject to a range of powerful forces that influence the shape and direction of public policy, including the competing voices of political parties, media and pressure groups. Indeed, it is often difficult to disentangle politics and law.
