Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The House of Lords and the Unjust Veto A Conservative friend of mine, who takes a fairly active part in political life, once told me that he found the most difficult thing, for purposes of platform speaking, was to discover any satisfactory justification for the actions and the existing powers of the House of Lords. How difficult a matter this question is for the Conservative Party, is perceptible from the quaint arithmetic of Lord Avebury, who recently propounded the theory that the Education Bill which the Lords rejected in December, 1906, was passed in the House of Commons by Members who represented not the Majority, but the Minority, of the Voters of the United Kingdom (see par. 76). Although the defence of the House of Lords may present considerable difficulties to those who speak on Conservative platforms, this does not lessen the importance, to Liberals, of being armed with arguments and facts for use amongst the many who have not the books at hand, nor the time to spare, nor, possibly, the inclination to study, the subject thoroughly for themselves.
