The purview of these studies includes parliamentary party behavior in Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Spain, Hungary, and the European Parliament, with less exten­ sive inclusion of parliamentary behavior in a number of other countries. The original papers upon which these chapters are based were first ex­ posed to the public view in a workshop, "Party Discipline and the Or­ ganization of Parliaments," that Shaun Bowler and David Farrell organized for the European Consortium for Political Research meetings in Bordeaux, France, in 1995. Students of American legislative politics are highly sensitive to the fact that the U.S. Congress and the state legislatures often do not exhibit party discipline in their voting behavior: members of the legislative party do not vote against members of the other party a very high pro­ portion of the time. Party government is not a preponderant feature of American legislative decision making. Although party voting is by no means insignificant or trivial in American legislatures, it plays a far more important role in the parliamentary parties in European assemblies. Central as party discipline and cohesion are to the performance of many European parliaments, the phenomena have not been investigated extensively. The studies in this anthology take a very large leap forward in knowledge about parliamentary party discipline. Because the parlia­ mentary cohesiveness of the governing majority may be a coalition of several party groups, the joint problems of cohesiveness and discipline in multiparty parliaments are intriguing and fertile. More broadly, these careful and cogent studies contribute to better understanding of the na­ ture of legislature or parliamentary politics altogether. In the American context, legislative parties may contribute primarily by addressing the policy or status preferences of their members, by sup­ vn viii - Foreword porting a legislative program either on ideological grounds or for the purpose of facilitating reelection of their members and leaders, or both. In European parliamentary systems, the legislative assembly has as its preeminent function the formation of a majority coalition—composed of one large party or several smaller ones—sufficient to establish and support a government. Accordingly, party discipline plays a signifi­ cantly different role in the parliamentary systems than in separated sys­ tems such as that of the United States, where the executive is chosen quite independently of the legislature. The studies in this book are illuminating. These authors move away from a crude consideration of parliamentary parties as unitary actors to investigate what goes on inside them in terms of the formation of intraparty consensus and leadership support. The true policy prefer­ ences and attitudes of the MPs may, for instance, be belied by an analy­ sis operating only at the party level, as illustrated by the views of the British MPs toward the Maastricht Treaty. Even the less well-under- stood continental European parliaments exhibit very high, although varying, levels of parliamentary party cohesiveness. Indeed, some par­ liamentary parties harbor more loyal, better disciplined members than others. Moreover, national parliamentary parties are, in turn, nested in a transnational assembly, the European Parliament. These fascinating variations are investigated in innovative ways in the following chapters. Samuel C. Patterson Preface This book emerged from a series of papers presented at a workshop, "Party Discipline and the Organization of Parliaments " held during the Joint Sessions of the European Consortium for Political Research, at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Bordeaux, France, April 27-May 2, 1995. During the course offive days of stimulating discussion, it became clear to all of us around the table that there was a crying need for a comparative study on this important subject. It was agreed that the workshop organizers (Bowler and Farrell), together with the most force­ ful of the participants (Katz), should try to pull a selection of the papers together as an edited volume. As always happens with such exercises, we could not include all of the papers presented in the workshop, either because they were already committed elsewhere or because their subject matter did not quite fit the overriding theme of the book. But this does not take from the fact that each of these colleagues played a vital role in seeing this project come to fruition and we want to record a special thanks to them: Herbert Doring, John Huber, Stephen Ingle, Robin Ko­ lodny, Petr Kopecky, Lia Nijzink, Kaare Stem, Marc van den Muy­ zenberg, Ania van der Meer-Krok-Paszkowska, and Matti Wiberg. Given the transatlantic dispersion of the authors and editors, the relative speedy completion of this volume is testimony to the wonders of e-mail, but more especially to the conscientiousness of our authors. Final completion was facilitated by David Farrell's stay at Harvard, in the first part of 1997, as a fellow at the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy, Kennedy School of Government. We are grateful to Samuel Patterson for his advice and support throughout, to our reader for very helpful feedback and advice that helped to improve the manuscripts, and most especially to Charlotte Dihoff, Beth Ina, and the rest of the staff at Ohio State University Press. IX PART I Theories and Definitions Party Cohesion, Party Discipline, and Parliaments SHAU N BOWLER, DAVI D M. FARRELL, AND RICHAR D S. KATZ 1993, British Prime Minister John Major had to threaten I.erran; t Conservative backbenchers with a suicidal snap elec­ tion to ensure their support in passing a parliamentary bill ratifying Britain's signature of the 1992 Treaty on European Union (the Maas­ tricht Treaty). On a regular basis in postwar, prereform Italy, prime min­ isters fell at the hand of factions within their own party, which meant that the average life span of Italian governments could be measured in months rather than years (see chap. 11 of this volume). These are just two examples of a problem that all party leaders share: party discipline in parliament.

    The Emergence of Parties in the Canadian House of Commons (1867-1908). Jean-Fran¸coisGodbouty and Bjørn Høylandz y D´epartement de science polititque, Universit´ede Montr´eal zDepartment of Political Science, University of Oslo Conference on the Westminster Model of Democracy in Crisis? Comparative Perspectives on Origins, Development and Responses, May 13-14, 2013. Abstract This study analyzes legislative voting in the first ten Canadian Parliaments (1867-1908). The results demonstrate that party voting unity in the House of Commons dramati- cally increases over time. From the comparative literature on legislative organization, we identify three factors to explain this trend: partisan sorting; electoral incentives; and negative agenda control. Several different empirical analyses confirm that intra-party conflict is generally explained by the opposition between Anglo-Celtic/Protestants and French/Catholic Members of Parliament. Once members begin to sort into parties according to their religious affiliation, we observe a sharp increase in voting cohesion within the Liberal and Conservative parties. Ultimately, these finding highlight the importance of territorial and socio-cultural conflicts, as well as agenda control, in ex- plaining the emergence of parties as cohesive voting groups in the Canadian Parliament. This study explains the development of party unity in the Canadian House of Commons. We take advantage of the historical evolution of this legislature to analyze a complete set of recorded votes covering the first ten parliaments (1867-1908). This early period is of interest because it was during these years that the first national party system was established, the electoral franchise was limited, and the rules and procedures of the House were kept to a minimum.

  • Counting Parties and Identifying Dominant Party Systems in Africa
    European Journal of Political Research 43: 173–197, 2004 173 Counting parties and identifying dominant party systems in Africa MATTHIJS BOGAARDS International University Bremen, Germany Abstract. By most definitions, the third wave of democratisation has given rise to dominant parties and dominant party systems in Africa. The effective number of parties, the most widely used method to count parties, does not adequately capture this fact. An analysis of 59 election results in 18 sub-Saharan African countries shows that classifications of party systems on the basis of the effective number of parties are problematic and often flawed. Some of these problems are well known, but the African evidence brings them out with unusual clarity and force. It is found that Sartori’s counting rules, party system typology and definition of a dominant party are still the most helpful analytical tools to arrive at an accu- rate classification of party systems and their dynamics in general, and of dominant party systems in particular. Introduction Multi-party elections do not lead automatically to multi-party systems. In sub- Saharan Africa, the spread of multi-party politics in the 1990s has given rise to dominant parties. A majority of African states has enjoyed multi-party elec- tions, but no change in government (Bratton & van de Walle 1997; Baker 1998; Herbst 2001; Cowen & Laakso 2002). In some countries where a change in government did take place, the former opposition is by now well entrenched in power. This has led to the prediction of an ‘enduring relevance of the model of single-party dominance’ (O’Brien 1999: 335).

In this memorandum I address aspects of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Bill which seek to make statutory provision for matters which fall within Parliament’s exclusive cognizance and which may affect the established privileges of the House of Commons as well as upsetting the essential comity which has been established over a long period between Parliament and the Courts. 2. I make no comment on the policy purposes of the Bill; indeed it would be improper for me to do so. My concern is with the way in which provisions of the Bill impinge upon Parliamentary privilege and which may bring the Courts and Parliament into conflict.

  • Notes on Parliaments Visited
    3 Notes on parliaments visited Parliaments studied 3.1 This chapter provides a brief overview of the parliaments studied during the program in order to provide a context for the observations in Chapter 2. The notes are from the perspective of the committee’s interests and do not attempt to provide an overview of the parliaments themselves. There is obviously much more that could be said about each of the parliaments visited, but such comments would not reflect the experience provided by the study program. 3.2 As noted in paragraph 1.6 above, the committee was able to visit, observe and have discussions at the House of Commons and House of Lords in London, the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the Tynwald in Douglas, (Isle of Man), the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff and the French National Assembly in Paris. The notes on these assemblies reflect information provided during discussions as well as documents provided by our hosts. 3.3 Three main factors influenced the decision to visit the four parliaments in the United Kingdom and one in France: a desire to compare practices and procedures with other parliaments sharing Westminster origins (The House of Commons, House of Lords, Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales); an interest in learning how quite different parliamentary traditions address issues relevant to all legislatures, including scrutinising the Executive, use of parliamentary committees, communicating with the 34 STUDY PROGRAM 2006 public, procedures for conducting formal votes, how parliaments adapt themselves to societal changes (the Tynwald and the French National Assembly in addition to the parliaments in Britain); and time constraints imposed by the need to slot the visit into part of the Easter break (returning in time for the Budget sittings) and the sitting patterns of other parliaments.

    OPPOSITION TO THE EUROPEAN UNION IN THE UK 211 Simon Usherwood Opposition to the European Union in the UK: The Dilemma of Public Opinion and Party Management THE MAIN AIM OF THIS ARTICLE IS TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE processes at work in the management of European policy formation by political parties in the UK.1 More specifically, it attempts to apply and extend the model proposed by Aspinwall of institutional con- straints on that policy management.2 Whereas Aspinwall limits the application of his model to parliamentary coalitions and effective power, we push the model further by describing and analysing its interaction with other features of the political landscape, most notably the generally low level of interest in European affairs on the part of the British public. For almost all of the post-war period, the question of ‘Europe’ has been one that has occupied the minds of British legislators and governments.3 But the temptation for most commentators to con- centrate on cultural and historical explanations of ‘otherness’ in the British case has resulted in a neglect of the more practical effects of institutional structures. This article addresses some of those effects by first providing a brief overview of Aspinwall’s model, which suggests that the first-past-the-post (FPP) system creates centrifugal forces within the party system, resulting in parties holding com- promise policy positions. This is followed by a discussion of the 1 Thanks are due to Stephen George, Mark Aspinwall, Paul Taggart, Jo Waller and those at the presentation of this paper at the Political Studies Association 51st Conference, Manchester, 10–12 April 2001.
