The Tender For Law

Volume 3

Sep 09, 2013 7:36 PM

My understanding is that the UK is debating a private members bill "Provide a system of national service for young persons; and for connected purposes."

In the above description they use the word PERSONS, but in the description they use the words "participant" and "individual"

individual, adj. (I5c) 1. Existing as an indivisible entity. 2. Ofor relating to a single person or thing, as opposed to a group.

What is PARTICIPANT?

Any person who takes part in any activity, service or program.

So are they getting sly or are these other words used because it's a private members bill and not law yet? http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/2013-2014/0032/cbill_2013-20140032_en_2.htm

the only thing the parliament can make policy for is that which they contract? if you are representing the person PERSON.... MAY BE CAPABLE OF RIGHTS BUT WITH DEFINITE DUTIES... it will probably be incumbent upon citizens... as persons?

yes what I was looking at is that they appear to be changing things up a bit, adding in other words that, are used frequently in everyday life. Just seems like a trick as people begin to learn about what a PERSON is.
