	Legal Resources
		The workload of members within their constituencies has grown, as is illustrated by an explosive increase over the years in the size of their postbags.
		The semi-corollary of a high proportion of the constituencies being in 'safe-seat' territory is not merely that many voters pass their entire adult lives without ever voting for a winning candidate but that they also do so without any realistic hope of influencing a result.
		Nor does the respect in which Parliament is currently held, or the turn-out at elections, or the degree of commitment to the political process exhibited, particularly by the young, constitute a ringing endorsement of the present system.

	Scottish Devolution: A Historical and Political Analysis
		"Nationalism is a doctrine which holds that the boundaries of a state should coincide with those of the nation."<2> Although Scottish devolution is an attempt by the UK Parliament in Westminster to fend off a history of nationalist sentiment, it may eventually lead towards an independent Scottish nation-state.
		In November 1998 the Westminster Parliament passed the Scotland Act, as it did a Wales Act also, and it received Royal assent; the first elections to the Scottish Parliament are to be held on May 6, 1999.
		It was not until economic and political circumstances improved for the SNP that devolution became a concern of the UK Government.

	THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS PARTY UK POLITICS
		The Lib Dems are the third-largest party in the UK Parliament, behind Labour and the Conservatives, with 63 Members of Parliament - 62 elected at the general election of 2005, and one from the Dunfermline and West Fife by-election.
		This was especially true in 1983 and 1987 when their popular electoral support was greatest; their increase in the number of seats in 1997 and 2001 was largely due to the weakness of the Conservative Party in the later elections.
		They are also criticised for not calling for reform of the European parliament despite the fact that different countries are not represented equally, which contradicts their ideology of 'giving power to the people'.
