Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electoral Reform: An Inquiry Into Our System of Parliamentary Representation I 13331113 to acknowledge my debt to friends who have aided me in compiling the material, and coming to the conclusions, of this book. Especially I must thank Mr. J. C. Haig for helping me in the parts where Colonial experience and examples are cited, Mr. J. H. Humphreys, Secretary of the Proportional Representation Society, for much valuable assistance, and Mr. Frank R. Massey. Some errors of fact may be found. As in our Colonies and elsewhere proposals were being discussed in various legislative assemblies when these pages were being sent to press, some facts may be out of date even before the book is published. I believe that any such failings will neither invalidate the arguments nor impair the con elusions which are here advanced.

Download or read book Understanding Electoral Reform written by Reuven Y. Hazan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of elections and electoral systems, and particularly electoral reform, has exhibited tremendous growth and cross-national appeal over the last two decades. However, beyond an increased knowledge of voting rules and their consequences for political representation, little attention has been devoted to the question of why electoral systems have recently undergone substantial change in several liberal democracies. This book addresses several new approaches to electoral reform. First, the scope of the study of electoral reform has been expanded. Second, contrary to previous studies of electoral reform, the conviction that the determinants of reform can be explained by one single approach has been replaced by a belief in a more comprehensive framework for analysis. Third, we move beyond political parties (acting in parliament and government) as the most significant source of electoral reform. Fourth, a focus on the determinants of electoral reform allows us to include motivations and objectives of electoral reform. A final advancement in the study of electoral reform is the inclusion of countries other than ‘established’ democracies. This book was published as a special issue of West European Politics.

Download or read book The Crisis in Our Democracy written by Aharon Nathan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-26 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prompted by concerns about the problems of social cohesion which our country now faces, the threats to our society and the disconnect between Parliament and people, this well-informed, compelling and deeply thoughtful book discusses how best to repair our troubled democracy, strengthening the all-important links between the people and those who represent them. It presents the case for gentle reforms to our electoral system, based on the principle of Total Representation (TR). These would preserve the UK's precious constituency system intact but add a limited, sensitively judged element of proportionality so as to mitigate the troublesome side-effects of pure constituency systems and provide appropriate representation in Parliament for all members of the electorate while avoiding the perils of proportional representation systems. In the House of Commons, Constituency MPs would continue to be elected, and to serve their constituents, exactly as now. But a limited number of Party MP seats would be allocated in addition to individual Parties in proportion to the -wasted- votes cast for each of them, thus encouraging all members of the electorate to vote, ensuring a fairer representation of political minorities and more faithfully aligning the balance of MPs in Parliament with the balance of voters in the country. Millions more people would feel for the first time that their voices can be heard. The book advocates use of the same TR principles to elect a sensitively reformed, elected House of Lords and Party Leaders. Acknowledging that agreement on such reforms is never easy, the authors suggest that as a first step Parliament should promptly establish a new Independent Commission with a remit to review the problems which presently beset our democratic institutions and electoral system, to assess possible solutions such as those discussed in this book, and to report back within a year. Agreed reforms could then be implemented alongside the planned reduction in the number of constituencies ahead of the probable date of the next General Election.

This book was released on 1999-05-04 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is one of a series being prepared for the National Research Council's Committee on International Conflict Resolution. The committee was organized in late 1995 to respond to a growing need for prevention, management, and resolution of violent conflict in the international arena, a concern about the changing nature and context of such conflict in the post-Cold War era, and a recent expansion of knowledge in the field. The committee's main goal is to advance the practice of conflict resolution by using the methods and critical attitude of science to examine the effectiveness of various techniques and concepts that have been advanced for preventing, managing, and resolving international conflicts. The committee's research agenda has been designed to supplement the work of other groups, particularly the Carnegie Corporation of New York's Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict, which issued its final report in December 1997. The committee has identified a number of specific techniques and concepts of current interest to policy practitioners and has asked leading specialists on each one to carefully review and analyze available knowledge and to summarize what is known about the conditions under which each is or is not effective. These papers present the results of their work.

Download or read book Ritual and Rhythm in Electoral Systems written by Graeme Orr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ’Why do we vote in schools?’ ’What is the social meaning of secret balloting?’ ’What is lost if we vote by mail or computers rather than on election day?’ ’What is the history and role of drinking and wagering in elections?’ ’How does the electoral cycle generate the theatre of election night and inaugurations?’ Elections are key public events - in a secular society the only real coming together of the social whole. Their rituals and rhythms run deep. Yet their conduct is invariably examined in instrumental ways, as if they were merely competitive games or liberal apparatus. Focusing on the political cultures and laws of the UK, the US and Australia, this book offers an historicised and generalised account of the intersection of electoral systems and the concepts of ritual, rhythm and the everyday, which form the basis of how we experience elections. As a novel contribution to the theory of the law of elections, this book will be of interest to researchers, students, administrators and policy makers in both politics and law.
