> draconian legislation

When it does not infringe a human right, and most people can follow it, a law cannot be considered draconian.




You just invented your own definition of draconian.

> excessively harsh and severe

It's about severity, which you can debate. It's not about human rights or being followed.


@isaacremuant

There is no excessive severity in a law that most people can follow while leaving a full life.


Please define "a full life" and explain why you believe that everyone else should live their lives according to your definition.


That's your, rather vaguely stated, opinion.

We don't share it.
