Understanding the heart of Westminster

The Queen’s Speech: which bills are most likely to be passed?
The Child poverty bill is the only piece of legislation in the Queen's Speech which a majority of MPs, journalists and other insiders believe will pass into law
The latest results from the PoliticsHome Phi100 survey - which monitors the views of opinion-formers within Westminster on topical political issues - show that, of the various bills announced in the Queen’s Speech earlier today, the Child Poverty bill is the only one seen as likely to enter the statute books by a majority of insiders.
Sixty five per cent of the Phi100 panel – which includes MPs and peers from across the political spectrum as well as media commentators and executives, party strategists, and thought leaders from think tanks and universities – believe that the Child Poverty Bill is likely to become law before the general election.
The bill will enshrine in law the government’s commitment to eradicate child poverty by 2020.
No other bill was seen as likely to become law by a majority of panellists.
After the Child Poverty Bill, the bills seen as most likely to be passed were the Fiscal Responsibility Bill (which will enshrine in law the government's promise to halve its budget deficit within four years), the Cluster Munitions Prohibition Bill (which will ratify international ban on cluster bombs), and the Energy Bill (which will legislate to invest in carbon capture technology and give the regulator Ofgem more power to intervene to force down utility prices).

Martin
So will anyone believe 'promises' enshrined in law any more than they will in the manifesto?
Anna
So what happens if they don't halve the deficit in 4 years - prison?
