Product Description
Book Description
Although the work of Parliament is constantly in the news and televised daily, much of its work remains a mystery to outsiders and is sometimes perplexing even to its own members. This book provides a unique insight into the work and daily life of Parliament. It sets out plainly and intelligibly what goes on and why things happen, but it also analyses the pressures within the institution, its strengths and weaknesses, and ways in which it might change.
A standard textbook, now entirely rewritten, it covers every aspect of the work, membership, and structures of both Houses, and also reflects the profound changes in Parliament over the last five years, including the 'transitional' House of Lords, following the rejection of proposals for an elected element; the effects of devolution and the Human Rights Act; the programming of bills and many other significant changes in the Commons; and the relationship between Parliament and the European Union in the context of impending European constitutional change. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to see behind the headlines and really understand how Parliament works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, clear and informative., 19 Sep 2004
This review is from: How Parliament Works (Paperback)
For those of us interested in politics but with no education in the subject, battling through the jargon of Westminster can often be a trial. No more! From MPs' salaries to explanations of the 10 Minute Bill, this book conveys everything you could ever want to know about government with style and panache.
