Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reform in Parliamentary Business: House of Lords As the Lords are now constituted, they do not so much legislate as register, and Often with a bad grace, the decrees of the House of Commons. But a Second Chamber should do more than record the resolutions of the First it should complete and harmonise the whole Of legislation. In order to do this it must be capable Of a lively and intelligent sympathy with the nation at large; and we cannot too often repeat that the creation of this sympathy should be the reformer's prime Object. In the solution of our present problem let us begin by trying to conceive clearly the ends which should be sub served by a Second Chamber. We shall then be able to see how far the House of Lords at present attains those ends, and how far it stands in need of reform. Roughly speaking, the ends for which a Second Chamber should exist are three. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a draft Bill and white paper on proposals to change the House of Lords into a more democratically elected second chamber. A cross-party Committee met seven times from June to December 2010 and considered all reform issues related to the House of Lords. Agreement was reached on a large number of issues but differences in opinion remain on the size of the elected element and the type of electoral system. The Government now wants to take the discussion forward to a debate on the detail. Proposals include an 80 percent elected House of Lords but a wholly elected House of Lords has not been ruled out. The Draft Bill sets out elections using the Single Transferable Vote system but it is recognised that a case can be made for other proportional systems too. Other proposals, name, size, functions, powers and term length are some of several issues discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Meg Russell's book is a valuable contribution to the debate on the further stages of House of Lords reform. It is always useful to gain a greater understanding from the experience of other countries.' -Baroness Jay, Leader of the House of Lords'The debate on the future of the House of Lords has so far been insular and backward-looking. Meg Russell provides and overdue and authoritative corrective in showing the lessons to be learnt from second chamber overseas in the balanced, analytical and highly readable manner that the Constitution Unit has made its trademark. She outlines how an independent and distinctive second chamber could form a central part of the developing constitutional settlement, complementing but not threatening the Commons.' -Peter Riddell, The Times'An excellent addition to the comparative literature on bicameralism which will be of great use to those interested in parliaments, parliamentary reform and comparative government generally' -Campbell Sharman, University of Western Australia'excellent new survey' -The Guardian'Ms Russell's thorough book goes straight to the heart of the hardest questions and gives a sober, efficient account of what is to be said on each side... sound, sensible, and well-researched study.' -Michael Fry, Glasgow Herald, 24/2/00'Russell should be thanked for a valuable, laborious and exhaustive study carried out in a fair and honest spirit... provides a thorough professional exercise... shrewd political judgments.' -John Vincent, LRB, 16/3/00The constitution of Britain is changing rapidly, and the House of Lords is next on the agenda for reform. This book provides an international context, using material as yet unpublished in the UK. What can we learn from the appointed Canadian Senate, the elected Australian Senate, the German federal Bundesrat, or our other European neighbours.
