The House Of Lords Question

The House of Lords Question by Andrew Reid is a comprehensive analysis of the ongoing debate surrounding the role and future of the House of Lords in the British political system. The book explores the historical and constitutional background of the House of Lords, its current composition and powers, and the various proposals for reform that have been put forward over the years. Reid examines the arguments for and against the retention of an unelected upper chamber, and considers the potential impact of different reform options, such as a fully elected House of Lords or a hybrid system of elected and appointed members. He also looks at the wider political context in which the debate is taking place, including the changing nature of British democracy and the challenges posed by devolution and Brexit. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including parliamentary reports, academic studies, and public opinion polls, The House of Lords Question provides a comprehensive overview of one of the most important and contentious issues in British politics today. It will be of interest to scholars, students, and anyone interested in the future of democracy in the UK.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
