House Of Lords: Reform
Number of pages:
13
ABSTRACT:
13 pages in length. The rumble of massive change has permeated throughout the UK government for years. Because a particular bureaucratic system has worked in the past is no reason to assume it will continue to work for a given community's future social, political and economic needs, which is precisely the issue surrounding the ongoing quest to reform Parliament's second chamber, the House of Lords. Residing at the crux of what has been termed a major shake-up in Britain's historical political system is the overwhelming need to end what Prime Minister Tony Blair asserts is the hereditaries' centuries old dominance of the Lords and replace such antiquation with a more modernized, democratic approach. Lord Wakeham, who has taken this challenge to heart, composed and presented a report that addressed reform for even the most seemingly inconsequential aspects, sparking greater controversy for those who oppose such drastic change and a sigh of relief for those who fully support the modernization of Britain's outdated House of Lords. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
