 H-Net - H-Albion Discussion Network
There are sections on constituencies and elections, the members, the organization and business of the House, as well as appendices with a wealth of information on the activities of MPs both in and outside the Commons, from their membership of committees to their criminal and immoral predilections.
The parliaments of 1690-1715 not only saw the perfection of England's first party system, but also the beginning of the fact of Parliament as a permanent, perennial mechanism of the Constitution rather than an _ad hoc_ and occasional debating club, dependent on the monarch's whim.

Today we have the awful Blair and his sycophants in office even though they only attracted some 36% of the votes cast, yet took 66 more ‘seats’ than in short far more people didn’t want NuLabour, and yet that is what we got stuck with.
There is something VERY wrong with UK politics at present made even worse by the utterly dictatorial manner in which Blair is acting.
