	Elective dictatorship - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The phrase elective dictatorship (also called executive dominance in political science) was coined by the former Lord Chancellor, Quintin Hogg, Baron Hailsham of St Marylebone, in a academic paper of the same name written in 1976.
		It describes the state in which Parliament is dominated by the executive (often referred to in the UK as "the government").
		The most widely supported measure to reduce executive dominance would be to reduce the power of the majority party by adopting a proportional representation electoral system for the House of Commons, and perhaps for the House of Lords too (which is currently unelected).

	Extract from "ELECTIVE DICTATORSHIP" -- LORD HAILSHAM
		We live in an elective dictatorship, absolute in theory, if hitherto thought tolerable in practice.
		Then there has been a change in the relative influence of the different elements in government, so as to place all the effective powers in the hands of one of them, in other words, the checks and balances, which in practice used to prevent abuse, have now disappeared.
		So both sets of changes have operated in the same direction - to increase the extent to which elective dictatorship is a fact, and not just a lawyer's theory.

		In modern times, attention was first called to the new elective dictatorships by Lord Hailsham, in a famous address on the BBC in 1976.
		But in practice, human nature being what it is, every human being and every human institution will tend to abuse its legitimate powers unless these are controlled by checks and balances, in which the holders of office are not merely encouraged but compelled to take account of interests and views which differ from their own.
		The fourth objection to an elective dictatorship is the inability of the parliament to assert proper control over the government’s defence and foreign policy activities.
