Reflections on the Constitution The House of Commons, The Cabinet, The Civil Service


Free Download Harold J. Laski, "Reflections on the Constitution: The House of Commons, The Cabinet, The Civil Service"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1138823007 | EPUB | pages: 222 | 0.2 mb
This work remains of interest to anyone concerned with Britain’s political institutions and how they might be reformed. Laski was strongly in favour of utilising Britain’s capacity for decisive government to drive through great social reforms. He was still confident that there was a majority will for such change and quite unable to imagine the kind of centralisation that was later to take place in the UK. If Laski is still important it is more for his pluralist view which counsel against such developments, but these lectures are still of interest in showing how a radical reformer could accept and defend established institutions like the House of Commons.

Reform of the House of Lords


Free Download Philip Norton, "Reform of the House of Lords"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1526119234 | EPUB | pages: 96 | 0.4 mb
This book is the only one of its kind, providing a clear and exhaustive analysis of the different approaches to the future of Britain’s second chamber. The House of Lords has long been the subject of proposals for reform – some successful, others not – and calls for the existing membership to be replaced by elected members have been a staple of political debate. The debate has been characterised by heat rather than light, proponents and opponents of change often talking past one another. This work gives shape to the debate, drawing out the role of the House of Lords, previous attempts at reform, and the different approaches to the future of the House. It develops the argument for each and analyses the current state of the debate about the future of the upper house in Britain’s political system.
