| 14459 | Representative institutions, for example,he asks,"what do they represent? |
| 14459 | [ 5] Is it to be expected that this power will not be abused as in America? 14459 + Comparison of the Two Stages.+--How do the conditions presented by the nineteenth century differ from those of the fourteenth? 14459 + The Meaning of Party Government.+--Why should there be two parties instead of one in order that the people should be able to govern themselves? 14459 Again, it may be called the rule of the majority, but what sort of a majority? 14459 And how is the problem of representation affected? 14459 And who shall be the judge to say where the line shall be drawn? 14459 And yet many people imagine that a disorganized collection of delegates of various sections can rule a nation? 14459 Applying the same tests as we have used in the case of the great democracies to the present position of Australian politics, what is the result? 14459 Are the working classes in Australia going to demonstrate that they are unfit for the exercise of political rights? 14459 Are they going to justify the prognostications of the opponents of popular government? 14459 Are we tied up inexorably simply to a choice of evils? 14459 But is it not quite evident that it has the opposite effect? 14459 But what is this price which Mr. Lilly is railing at? 14459 But what will happen if some of the States consider themselves unjustly treated? 14459 Could a man like Gladstone be said to merely express the thoughts of his constituents? 14459 Could anything be more ridiculous? 14459 Do we fully realize the dangers as well as the glorious possibilities of unfettered action? 14459 Do we sufficiently feel the weight of the responsibility we have undertaken? 14459 Does it not actually decide the constitution of Parliament? 14459 Does it not amount to disfranchisement? 14459 Even in the region of sport, can a cricket or a football team dispense with its captain and its places? 14459 Exact equality is impossible, and who shall set the limit beyond which inequality shall not be pressed? 14459 First, as regards organization, where do we stand? 14459 Has not every attempt at popular government failed for the same cause-- want of organization? 14459 Has not the demagogue more power than his dupes, or the Member of Parliament more power than the elector? 14459 Have these forces ceased to operate? 14459 Hence the question arises: Is not this exclusion of the minority an injustice? 14459 How are we to combine individual candidature with party nomination? 14459 How is it that the public conscience is not alive to the enormity of this anti- social crime? 14459 How should the people be induced to vote? 14459 How were all the votes to be equally divided among 654 members so that each should secure exactly the quota? 14459 How, then, could a union be formed? 14459 If they had followed this course, might they not have been in a better position to- day? 14459 Is it any wonder that some of the colonies promise to rival France in the proportion of unreproductive works constructed out of loan money? 14459 Is it likely the Conservatives would join the Liberals, if the latter were trying to get all the seats? 14459 Is it not an extraordinary fact, then, that the vital distinction between representation and delegation is so universally ignored? 14459 Is it not on the face of it absurd to- day, when there are two parties? 14459 Is it not plainly the rule of a majority in the interests of minorities? 14459 Is it possible that the dangers may be avoided and the requisites secured by a change in electoral machinery? 14459 Is not the old house built on a rotten foundation? 14459 Is the prospect any brighter for the new Commonwealth? 14459 Is there a single department of concerted human action in which these same principles are not apparent? 14459 It may be asked, Why can not all surpluses be distributed by reference to all the papers, if that is the correct method? 14459 Later on he writes:--How is the amelioration of popular sovereignty to be effected? |
| 14459 | Now, can any sensible man or woman imagine a working ministry formed by a union of any four of these"parties?" |
| 14459 | Now, is not the electoral machinery the connecting link between the people and Parliament, and therefore a vital part in the machinery of government? |
| 14459 | The conclusion he comes to is as follows:-- Is the situation then hopeless? |
| 14459 | The question therefore arises, Which is entitled to the odd senator, the majority or the minority? |
| 14459 | The questions then arise-- What is the correct basis of representation? |
| 14459 | The real question is, on what basis are these groups likely to be formed? |
| 14459 | The real question, then, is this: Is the danger of foreign aggression so serious that all questions of internal policy can be permanently set aside? |
| 14459 | This is very true, but is not a new building required? |
| 14459 | Was he not rather a guide and leader of the thoughts of a great part of the British nation? |

| 14459 | Why force him to express preferences where he does not feel any? |
| 14459 | Why is it that in England alone this movement was successful? |
| 14459 | Why make democracy the scapegoat for all these evils, when they are simply due to the imperfect organization of democracy? |
| 14459 | Why not, then, for the divisions of each State? |
