Below is an excellent example of what is wrong with British politics and a good example of why we should abolish the House of Lords, public servants my arse! Social Investigations: Conservative Lords and their financial links to companies involved in private healthcare
Now the EU want to have their say... which I think will be a good thing for the UK Government to be reminded of their responsibilities as servants of the UK population. NSA and GCHQ activities appear illegal, says EU parliamentary inquiry | World news | The Guardian
and this... Social Investigations: Meet Lord Chadlington: He's about to vote on the Health and Social Care bill
Like it! Whilst the US can intimidate individual countries, it can't intimidate the entire EU, though once again, the UK will be leaning across the Atlantic and sucking up to the American military industrial complex, thus weakening the EU position.

My favourite quote was: While 36 committee members voted to hear Snowden, only two, both British Conservatives, voted against. ... The Lib Dem MEP Sarah Ludford denounced the Conservative position. "To ignore [Snowden] is absurd. The issue of whether the intelligence services are out of control merits serious examination in Europe as in the US. The Tories' ostrich-like denial is completely out of step with mainstream opinion in both continents, including Republicans in the US and Merkel's centre-right party in Germany. But their line is consistent with the obdurate refusal of Conservatives at Westminster to clarify and strengthen safeguards on snooping by GCHQ." Thank the maker that someone is looking at this objectively!

Depends what you mean by "new laws". Many of the new acts of parliament replace old acts; the previous legislation is amalgamated, codified, partly repeated and partly repealed. Likewise most Statutory Instruments are not on new topics, but supersede previous SIs. The only truly "new" laws are those on fresh topics not previously covered - and there are very few of those.
