In the miatter of democracy
the world has seen nothing likt
that which is being written int<
jhe government of Great Britain
The Commons, chosen by the
people, will be the government,
with absolute rule over lords
and king.
They will not be checked and
limited to certain bounds by a
court standing guard over a con
stitution, as in this country.
An act by it becomes a part of
the constitution, unloss the same
conflicts with other laws in a
manner not intended by the par
liament.
No court can correct its errors;
all the judiciary can do is to
amend its oversights.
The king shows by his assent
to the programme of Asquith
and Lloyd-George Involving the
"padding" of the House of
Lords, if necessary to the com
pletion of their policies, that he
represents nothing but a shadow
of a once powerful throne.
With the veto bill enacted, the
lords will have surrendered the
last vestige of their right to in
terfere with legislation affecting
the country at large.
No legislative bod y in all the
world is more amenable to pub
lic sentimIent. than the ('om
monls of England.
Such a goverun nental status
woild not prevail in any other
