The proposal is no doubt deeply flawed. In my view, what we have at 
present is fatally flawed. In too many cases, literally fatal, though is 
could be argued that fatality is the least of our problems.

We're faced with a choice between evils. It's my view that doing nothing 
is the greater evil.

I hope your efforts will lead us to end up with the least possible evil. 
Given the forces ranged against you, hope is all we have.
