Is Cameron Concentrating?

Cameron played a blinder in assembling the Coalition. He took carefully thought out risks and succeeded. Has his concentration waned since then? There are niggling examples of a retrenchment into a comfort zone where the excuse for inaction is blamed on the LibDems. If, pace William Hague, Parliament is sovereign why is the Government not introducing a bill to override the ECHR ruling on votes for prisoners or at least promising to do so with the date of commencement retrospective to the ECHR judgment date? When will the Bill of Rights to replace the Human Rights Act 1998 be introduced and what about the annulment of the Universal Jurisdiction law, a pernicious anti-sovereignty enactment if ever there was one? The lack of progress on these and similar matters is disturbing. Reform of these issues must not be kicked into the long grass.
