Synopsis

This book explores the complex legal and constitutional issues surrounding the power of the House of Commons to exclude or disqualify its members. It contends that the House's resolutions are not sufficient to disable or disqualify a person from being a Member of Parliament. The author analyzes historical precedents and legal principles to argue that the power of the House in this regard is limited, and that it cannot override the rights and privileges of the electorate. The book provides valuable insights into the delicate balance between parliamentary sovereignty and individual liberties, shedding light on the fundamental principles that underpin the British constitution.
