Description
This book provides an international context to the debate on reforming the House of Lords. It argues that, while the UK is following in the footsteps of other countries in terms of constitutional reform, the debate on Lords reform remains insular and backward-looking.
The constitution of Britain is changing rapidly, and the House of Lords is next on the agenda for reform. But while Britain takes on many of the features of other countries' constitutions, the Lords reform debate remains insular and backward-looking. This book provides an international context, using material as yet unpublished in the UK.
