“The more purely political (in broad or narrow sense) a question is, the more appropriate it will be for political resolution and the less likely it is to be an appropriate matter for judicial decision.It is the function of political and not judicial bodies to resolve political questions. Conversely, the greater the legal content of any issue, the greater the potential role of the court, because under our constitution and subject to the sovereign power of Parliament, it is the function of the courts and not of political bodies to resolve legal questions”. (per Lord Bingham of Cornhill in A (FC) and others (FC) v Secretary of state for the Home Department (2005) AC 68 at p102 (para. 29)) cited in Allen and Thompson, Cases and Materials on Constitutional Law 8th ed p.779.
