Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Guide to the Home Rule Bill The Government of Ireland Bill, 1912, is defended and advocated by reckless assurances and impossible promises. It is to prepare the way for Home Rule all round and to relieve the congestion of the Imperial Parliament. It is to combine real autonomy for Ireland with effective Imperial control. It is to give the new Government a generous financial margin without imposing excessive burdens on the English taxpayer. A scheme which really gave any promise of fulfilling these expectations might have a certain claim upon the sympathetic consideration of the House of Commons. But the smallest examination of the present Bill will show that so far from giving any security that it will carry out the ostensible wishes of its promoters, it will actually increase the evils that it is designed to remedy. It is beyond the scope of the present writer to discuss the relative advantages of a federal or unitary system of government in these islands. There may be some who look forward without misgivings to the expenditure of three or four years of Parliamentary time in setting up five Parliaments with Cabinets responsible to them, in establishing a written constitution, a federal Court, and the other complicated machinery of federalism in so small an area as that of the United Kingdom. We need at the moment say no more than that this Bill is the most deadly obstacle either to the maintenance of our present constitution, or to the substitution of any rational scheme of federalism in its place. This Bill is no more Federalism than it is Unionism; it is a kind of experiment for which political science has as yet discovered no name.
