Synopsis
Parliament, and the House of Commons in particular, is increasingly held in contempt by the British public. From attending parties during the Covid-19 lockdown to taking payment for lobbying, MPs undermine their credibility by acting as if the rules they set for others should not apply to them. Still far from representative of the country they govern from the ancient and crumbling Palace of Westminster, MPs appear detached from the lives led by their constituents - conducting their business according to rules and procedures that have become too complex for many of them to understand.
Hannah White offers a perceptive critique of the shortcomings of the House of Commons, arguing that the reputation of the Commons is in a downward spiral - compounded by government attempts to side-line parliament during Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic. At a time of populist challenge to representative democracy, this book is an essential rallying cry for Members of Parliament to reform the House of Commons - equipping it to fulfil its important role as a cornerstone of our democracy - or see it fade into irrelevance.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. If MPs do not take responsibility for reforming the House of Commons the cornerstone of our democracy it will be held in contempt by the British public. In this timely book, Hannah White offers a perceptive critique of the internal shortcomings of the House of Commons. She argues that parliamentary rules have become too complex for many MPs, let alone the public, to understand. Meanwhile, MPs undermine their own credibility by acting as if the rules they set for others should not apply to them. This reinforces the public's sense that MPs are detached from their own lives, and their awareness that MPs are still not representative of the population they govern from the crumbling Palace of Westminster.Hannah White argues these internal flaws are undermining the public reputation of the House of Commons. And they have been compounded by government attempts to side-line parliament, particularly during Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic. At a time of populist challenge to representative democracy, this book is a much-needed rallying cry to reform the House of Commons as an institution or see it fade into irrelevance. The House of Commons is the United Kingdom's key democratic institution. But it faces serious challenges which it is ill-equipped to meet. This book examines what is wrong with the House of Commons, how we got here and what can be done about it.
