Items related to Parliament Under Pressure
Synopsis
In this investigation into what can be done to restore Parliament's reputation, the author identifies the sleaze allegations and televised slanging matches as symptoms of the real malaise, which he believes is Parliament's failure to perform its basic tasks. Parliament appears to be inadequate when engaged in its work of scrutiny, legislation and holding the executive to account. It is also under mounting pressure from outside institutions - Europe, the courts, the media, the quango state and outside regulators, such as the Nolan committee of inquiry. The result has not only been public disquiet, but also proposals which would have the effect of by-passing Parliament, such as a referendum on Europe and sweeping constitutional reforms. These changes could reduce the central role of Parliament, strengthen other bodies such as local and regional government and entrench a bill of rights.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
