Download or read book How Parliament Works written by Robert Rogers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by expert insiders, How Parliament Works is a straightforward and readable analysis of one of the country's most complex – and often misunderstood – institutions. Covering every aspect of the work, membership and structures of both Houses, this key text provides a unique insight into the work and daily life of Parliament. It explains not only what happens but also why, and analyses the institution’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as opportunities for Parliament to be more effective. The seventh edition has been substantially revised to take account of recent changes in both Houses and to cover all the key issues affecting Parliament and politics, such as: • the Fixed Term Parliaments Act; • the implications of coalition politics; • recent developments in Lords reform; • the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority's role in pay and expenses; • advances in scrutiny techniques; • changes in parliamentary cycles of business and finance; • member conduct and interests; • reform and modernisation. It also covers the latest developments in the legislative process, party discipline and rebellion, the procedure of both Houses, select committee work, and the relationship between Parliament and the European Union. All statistics and examples have been fully updated. How Parliament Works is essential reading for anyone who has anything to do with the Westminster Parliament: journalists, civil servants, lawyers, lobbyists, business and trade associations, diplomats, overseas parliaments and international bodies – and, indeed, members of both Houses.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: the direction of national disaster. We are measurably nearer to the abyss. It is therefore most opportune to call attention to the nature of the proposed change; to unma sk the insidious- ness of the attack, and to establish, on a firm basis, the reasonableness of the defence. I do not appeal to the passions, to the sympathies, to the sentiments of my fellow-countrymen. I would rather ask them calmly to consider the nature of things, to reason and wrestle with the mysteries of life, and, above all, to have the courage of their convictions. When reason has done its work, and the truth is clearly discerned, then let the nobler passions, the tenderest sympathies, and the loftiest sentiments, bring power irresistible to the will, lest right judgment suffer shipwreck and our country be involved in ruin. Some will not follow me in what I have to say. I ask them to be patient and to read with attention. I am attacking no man personally, and no man's creed. It is the natural dignity of man, the foundation of all religion, indeedthe coherence of all reasoning, which is attacked and threatened with destruction. But it will be said there is no grave question of this nature involved; it is merely proposed to bring in a Bill to allow members of Parliament to affirm. It is a message of peace, an act of universal toleration. All these arguments about the nature of man and the knowledge of God are beside the mark. It is merely a matter of political expediency, the timely application of the principle of perfect religious equality to which we have long ago committed ourselves. This is exactly what I am going to investigate. I say it is a departure from the principle of religious equality. If it is not, by all means let the Bill pass. If it is, let us stay our hands until we fully understand what...
