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 $aGeschichte (1979-1987)$2swd 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xWorld$xCanadian$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xGovernment$xLegislative Branch$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 07$aGeschichte (1979-1987) 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xWorld$xCanadian. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xGovernment$xLegislative Branch. 676 $a328.71 700 $aFranks$b C.
