With the rise in the professional politician many prefer to remain loyal in order to gain power and move up in the hierarchy as opposed to become a rebel who remains in the back benchers. This can be seen after the vote on tuition fees and the liberal democrats. Despite the fact that they had campaigned for this cause endlessly only 26 (including a few Conservatives) chose to vote against the bill. Whips play an important part in removing efficiency from Parliament. By having whips who ensure that MPs behave in accordance to the decisions of the executive both Parliaments ability to scrutinise and hold the executive to account is diminished, but also their role as representatives of their individual constituency is also compromised.
Economist believes that this system will do nothing to control cost but the budget office believes the bill will reduce the cost over a ten-year period. The cost concerns affected Americans because it helped Republicans win control over the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections and they also threatened to remove government funding. This reform also affected Doctors in the United States. Lifesitenews.com states that Doctors believe this Health Care reform will not be fair to them because the nurse practitioners and physicians assistant will be caring for the Patients hands on rather than the doctors even though they have more medical experience. His next plan of action was by using budget deficits which stop
We try not to engage in pay negotiations, due to the fact that most are satisfied with the opportunity to gain 5% increases in their yearly salaries by accumulating years of experience and satisfactory performance within their fields of employment. In some cases we do allow negotiations but those cases are few and far
First we will take a look at the positive outcomes for citizens and society as a whole if this type of program was set up. First citizens would have more say in the process of laws being decided and may actually help in the process since many government officials do not have the time or resources to go over every page in the laws they are reviewing or signing in. Also citizens would have more control over something they may completely disagree with, for example the recent decisions to insert more stimulus money towards the economy would more strongly be rejected by a citizen based vote than a Democratic majority based Congress. Also a system like this would bring our system closer to a federalist based system on which our founders wanted our society to be and would take away some control of our government branches and would give states even more say in crucial decision making processes. This would make it much more difficult for governments to grow and enact more control over its citizen's daily lives, issues and
Should the Westminster electoral system be reformed? The Westminster electoral system has been a target for reform for a long time. Despite the loss in the 2011 referendum, reform is still wanted by a number of people especially the Liberal Democrats who will benefit the most. First Past the Post is the system that Westminster uses for election to the Houses of Commons it is a simple majority or plurality system that requires a candidate to get more votes than anyone else. One argument that the Westminster electoral system should be reformed is that First Past the Post doesn't give the social representation that other system gives, for example in the Parliament elected in 2010, women, 51% of the population, are represented by 22% of Parliament therefore an under representation, however, university educated are overrepresented, 91% of the Houses of Commons represent 31% of the population but having PR doesn't guarantee that the social composition of Parliament only making the percentage of votes more proportional towards the seats.
As far as being 100% effective goes, the employees may still be able to effectively do their jobs, but she has to take into consideration the fact that by not getting new equipment, the methods in which they do their jobs is outdated. If they wait to make the purchase until prices go down to a level the supervisor finds satisfactory, the employees may no longer be able to work at the “100% efficient” level. I would also explain the concept of Moore’s Law, the prediction that computer performance would double every 18 months, to the supervisor. This would allow her to see how important it is to stay
The immigrants that came to America usually sided with the Democratic-Republican Party. Because of this, part of the Alien and Sedition Acts was the Naturalization Act. This increased the number of years required for immigrants to qualify for U.S citizens from 5 years to 14 years. The federalists adopted these laws because they wanted to stay in power, and since they were aware of the fact that many of the immigrants would vote for their opposing party, this act ensured that they couldn’t vote.

George Washington thought that immigration could help unite the country as a whole if there was an intermixture of cultures. (Doc. A) What is ironic is that Jefferson, one of the men who was most apposed of the Alien and Sedition Acts, looked down on immigration.
Senate reform has been a huge topic of interest over the past few decades because of the limited value and power the senate has. Although the senate does do some things well if it were to be reformed it would play a bigger and important role in how bills get passed or not. The senate is slightly changing through informal means but in order for it to be more useful it needs to formally go under a huge reform. I believe that the senate should be reformed as elected senators, shorter terms, and an equal number of representatives for provinces would greatly improve the effectiveness of the senate. Of course changing and reforming the senate would not be an easy process it is a process that needs to happen for the betterment of the senate and the government of Canada.
The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act joins this exclusive list” (Leahy). “In many ways the likelihood of a bill’s passage is proportional to the support it has when it enters the legislative queue and in many ways a bill’s prospects for passage have to do with both its initial popularity and the strength of its opposition” (McKnight). Even with proof that the VAWA Act actually saved the government money, more than $14.8 billion in the first 6 years, by reducing recidivism, Republicans in the House are having issues with this new reauthorization. (NACADV). “Just because a piece of legislation is morally right, has wide public support, and is high on the agenda of powerful members of Congress does not mean that it cannot be blocked or compromised by powerful interest groups with ‘deep pockets’ and the power to circumvent legislative mandates through manipulation of the regulatory process”
