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.
Gay marriage is significantly welcome from the Green Party’s perspective, more so than by the Democratic Party, and significantly more welcome than by the Republican Party. The death penalty is also an overwhelming aspect of political campaigning. While the Republicans generally support the death penalty, the Democratic Party is lukewarm on the subject. The Green Party, on the other hand, totally opposes the death penalty, claiming that it statistically fails to deter crime. Apart from that fact, it is objectionably inhumane for us to “play God” and decide whose lives we are justified to take.
Also the disunity within the Republican Party brought about by the government shutdown has caused the Democrats to join together despite divisions to present a more unified party to seem a more attractive option to the Republicans and also to criticise the Republicans hounding them in the press to lower their credibility to boost the Democratic standings in the popularity polls which has also brought about a large drop in support for the Republicans. Also as for the issue of same sex marriage the Democrats are predominantly in favour of it with it endorsed even by Barack Obama himself showing the mood of the majority of most of the Democratic Party despite a small minority who oppose it (mainly the Blue Dog Democrats). Another piece of evidence that the Democrats are not very divided is that the most conservative faction of the Democratic Party, the Blue Dog Democrats has been drastically reduced in recent years their numbers being in the 50’s in past years but in the 113th congress their numbers have been reduced to 14 so their influence has dwindled to give way to the congressional progressive caucus led by Nancy Pelosi who
Could be considered the conservative approach to the crime prevention module. Supporters prefer the “assembly line” (Worral p.14) method to expedite alleged criminals through the means of plea bargains to not clog up the courtrooms, which can be tied with quantity over quality. For example, meeting citation quotas or setting up DUI check points, which in essence is for the benefit of public safety; but can also be seeing as a way to increase revenue. One issue at the current moment would be the need for cameras on the uniforms of officers policing the street. The Due Process model would say that it is needed to make sure that officers properly follow procedures while questioning or detaining suspect on the street, in the case that something gets out of hand, a jury can see what actually happened.
A main detail about this would be that Romney’s is constitutionally and Obama’s is not but only potential. Through collaboration Massachusetts created a consensus among state holders to support the new law with Romney’s healthcare while Obama does NOT take into account that each state is unique in important ways such as some states can’t afford new spending on healthcare and second being greater costs will be imposed on states with a larger percentage of uninsured citizens. As you’ve heard Romney’s proposal was much more conservative friendly than the democrats passed under Barack Obama. Romney said “My own preference is to let each state fashion its own program to meet the distinct needs of its citizens. States could follow the Massachusetts model if they choose, or they could develop plans of their own.
In this essay, I will show that democratic peace theory which state that liberal democracies do not go to war against each another provide reasonable arguments in promoting democracy to nondemocratic states. Democratic proponents emphasize that the shared norm between liberal states is one of the factor that ensure peace among them. Besides that, citizens play a major role in declaring war by liberal democracies which result in a lower frequency of wars between the nations. Next, declaring war is complex and democratic leaders will not opt for it unless inevitable. Firstly, democratic peace is able to promote greater stability in the world as a result of the shared norms between liberal democracies.
In Denmark I as a citizen am fortunate to be given free health care, and I certainly do not feel less free than any other American who cannot say the same. I would rather pay more in taxes to gain free health care and shelter for the needed than paying less taxes and therefore provide myself and others with the certainty of not being helped by a professional health carer for free when we are in most need of it. Nevertheless, I do understand the difficulty of realizing Jackson's wishes for his country given that the population of America does not account for a small number, and also since it absolutely is not all who receives a stable economic income with which the high
3). He sees other countries where everybody has access and his belief in access to all grows. I feel like he includes the Nikki White’s story to point how many people who do not have care in America could really uses the care. (Reid Ch. 1) Reid wants any new health care system implemented in the United States to include health care access to all.
With Due process it the principle that the government must respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person according to the law it helps us in our court system to plead not guilty or guilty. With Double jeopardy it is good because you can’t get charged for the same crime twice. So this amendment is really important even if you did commit a crime. Rules for a Fair Trial 6 1. Have speedy and public by an impartial jury of the state and district where the crime was committed in.
Affirmative action entails giving minorities a head start in areas like higher education and employment; sometimes referred to as positive discrimination. However to more conservative groups and many Republican politicians it can be seen as reverse discrimination, patronising to minorities and unfair to majorities. The first programme of affirmative action was brought in by Kennedy in 1961, the creation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Council (EEOC), this ensured the hiring and employment practices would be free from racial bias. Affirmative action tends to be largely supported by the Democrats, with the belief of ‘Equality of Results vs. Equality Opportunity’ in that the burdens of racism can only be overcome by taking race into account.
