The law can’t bind a future legislature to act. Whether it is repealed when a new government takes over is neither here nor there. Binding future legislature takes power away from the future and gives it to the present. This is a great example -previously a legislature could change climate laws depending on the level of political support. Now, they must enact climate laws or repeal another law. That sounds fine first - but, what happens when they don’t have enough support to meet the goal, but also not enough support to repeal the goal? That’s exactly this situation. Legislatures have the right to act. When the legislature chooses not to act, they are drawing on the same authority as when they act. Other countries probably do things in different ways. In open to hearing why some systems allow legislators bind future legislatures, and how it relates to the overall system of government.
