As that the d Hasuly. Lie Ino cinc it in the arguments against delegation a opposed to represent in a recent tation have been lucidly stated by lord Hugh Cecil discussion of the necessity for proportional Jirtle election of democratic assemblies. Be holds that the degradation of members of parliament to the status of party delegates is really destructive of the representative system. Lord Hugh Cecil people arc accustomed to what Hua happened or is is that substitution of for represent ulves. But in Tuth i impossible.

To suppose that the system which Tia Iamb or does not exc civic Independent judgment but vote accords to order und in obedience to pledges. Is More democratic partakes More of Trio Dicot government by the people than the older Conception of representation. The member cannot receive Minhtruc Tom from the whole body of his constituents or oven from a majority of Thorn. In most he cannot the wishes of his constituents or of a majority of them. If a new Issue arise since the election this 13 Plain but Sven in respect to issues actually fought out at the election it a entirely beyond the Power of human analysis to Bay what was Tho judgment of a majority oho electors except perhaps upon a single dominant Issue when such a ii presented at an the truth is that the present distrust of parties and the ten Dency to doubt the Efficacy of popular self government arises from tie i dual substitution of the status of party Delegate for that of popular representative. In other words the party machine demonstrating that unless subordinated to firmly established Limi iut ions of scope and conduct it must either be self destructive of destructive of democratic institutions. The successful working of those institutions depends upon the High character the sound judg ment and Broad Outlook of the individual members of Legisla Tive assemblies.

The representation of each and every phase of Public upon problems in the councils of the nation is imperative. Parliament must be restored to dignity and to respect in own eyes As Well As in. Those of the people by realization in practice of the time honoured principles of representation and re Poi ability. This we believe can be attained Only by application of the single transferable vote to Large nearly As May equal constituencies. But it can never be attained at All if the candidates put Forward by groups sections or classes in the com Muity Are reduced to the level of Mere delegates.
