In this episode, Alannah and Holly discuss how legislation functions and it's importance. Alannah discusses the Marriage Act 2015, charting LGBT+ rights in Ireland, Marriage Equality and the innate blandness of amending legislation.  Holly examines Statutory Instruments [SI No 362/1977 - European Communities (Christmas Butter) Regulations 1977] & EU regulations [Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2370/77] and attempts a foray into economics. 

Alongside this exploration of legislation, there is the habitual diversion into unrelated topics such as the logic of bigots, the terrifying 'la grand crise du beurre' and the insurmountable Butter Mountain.
