i believe i explained... that the postponement of some legislation is not the same as a u-turn....

I think the article points out that, as it is a Private Members' Bill it would have to start from the bottom rung of the ladder again, as and when a new parliament is elected. 

... like the retired bishop christian and shrewd reader of the political context recognises ithas great potential as a front to other abuses of power... (hmmm put like that ....)

From what I understand, the good Bishop was pointing out that, since there is already a lot of unrest in the country, the supporters of the Bill had hoped that they could slip it by unnoticed by the larger audience.
