dead parrot legislation


a piece of legislation whose t-tle either intentionally or otherwise:-

1) has little or nothing to do with how it will operate in practice. it may even be completely ineffective.
2) in practice does the exact opposite to the t-tle.

could also be described as a dud, con, fraud or even surreal.

the term refers to a famous monty python sketch about a dead parrot.
“…the attorney general needs to look at this consultation paper again. if he doesn’t we could end up with a piece of dead parrot legislation…”
