It would become known as Murphy's Law. This remained the position until 1782, when Henry Grattan and other patriots succeeded in re-establishing Irish legislative independence. In 2009 Paul Murphy, Poyning's Welsh equivalent, of his own mere motion promulgated Murphy's Law. This makes all the National Assembly's legislation subject to the will of the British Goverment. Paul Murphy has handed us over, bound hand and foot, to the Tories. At the present rate, Murphy will be succeeded by a Tory within the next few months. When the Red Rose of England Unionist Party finally unravels at Westminster, David Davies could be calling the shots in Cardiff - if we're lucky.
