Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book considers the alteration of parliament through reform. The author believes the current system is imperfect and insufficiently representative of the people and proposes changes that would correct these perceived flaws. The author argues that the present system neglects the true interests of the people, prolongs corruption, and fails to address the wishes of the electorate, who he believes should be the ultimate determiner of policy and direction in government. The author proposes a specific plan to improve the system through a redistribution of power and electoral districts with the intention of making the representatives within parliament more directly beholden to the people they represent rather than to the aristocracy and other monied interests. If this plan were implemented, the author contends that the government would function for the benefit of the greater population rather than that of the elite few who currently wield the most political power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331384014_0
