"Parliament is constantly in the news and televised daily, but much of its work remains a mystery to outsiders and is sometimes perplexing even to its own members. Written by expert insiders, How Parliament Works is a straightforward and readable analysis of one of the country's most complex - and often misunderstood - institutions. Covering every aspect of the work, membership and structures of both Houses, this key text provides a unique insight into the work and daily life of Parliament. It explains not only what happens but why and analyses the institution's strengths and weaknesses, as well as opportunities for Parliament to be more effective. The ninth edition has been substantially revised to take account of recent changes in both Houses, and to cover all the key issues affecting Parliament and politics, such as: updates since the 2019 General Election updates on developments on Brexit since the last edition new material on Parliament's relationship with other legislatures & assemblies including those of the European Union and the devolved assemblies coverage of recent contentious issues such as the prorogation affair, the Cherry/Miller case and its implications for constitutional role of Parliament, dissent in parliament, and disagreement between the Houses updated discussion of progress on restoration and relocation minority/coalition/majority coalition government, the future of parliament new material on representation of different groups in and by Parliament - particularly women, ethnic minorities, LGBT community, fair representation (sex, race and class especially) and the electoral system new in-text features, case studies and colour photographs How Parliament Works is essential reading for anyone who has anything to do with the Westminster Parliament: journalists, civil servants, lawyers, lobbyists, business and trade associations, diplomats, overseas parliaments and international bodies - and indeed members of both Houses. How Parliament Works is also an invaluable companion to the study of politics at AS, A2 and university level, and provides a wealth of source material for teachers"-- Great Britain. Parliament.
