He compares the demands made on MPs with their essentially amateur abilities to govern. He relates the institution of Parliament to broader questions about political parties in general, and considers the relationship of Parliament to the executive branch in policy-making and accountability. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Canadian$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Canadian. 676 $a328.71 700 $aFranks$b C.
