Democracy in Question by Dean Inge on Parliament Power
Dean Inge writes in the Atlantic Monthly that democracy shows a drift toward centralizing power in premiers and cabinets. He notes decline in House of Commons authority since Disraeli and Gladstone and a rise in MPs as delegates. Washington’s House mirrors this, with few nationally known figures and limits on members. A cartoon contrasts constituents’ view and Washington’s view of MPs as pygmies. Calls for reducing membership or shifting minor bills to committees to enable broader debate on major issues.
