    Why Group Representation In Parliament Is Important Summary

    Tim Schouls in his essay, “Why Group Representation in Parliament Is Important,” argues that the parliamentary representation in Canada is unfair because it doesn’t represent Canada’s social diversity as a whole. He believes that democracy in Canada can be considerably deepened and enhanced when the composition of the House of Commons substantially reflects the social diversity of Canada (for example, Aboriginals, ethnic minorities, visible minorities, gays etc.) instead of geographical diversity (constituencies). He asserts there’s a big change taking place in Canadian politics; attachment to geography, language, and religion are becoming less important to Canadians while attachments to ethnicity and gender are becoming…

    influences on parliament

    Pressure groups are organisations of people who believe in the same cause. They have strongly held views and wish to influence some aspect of society. Groups of people working together usually have more effect than individuals. Pressure groups have the right to criticise the government, hold meetings, protest and make their views known by using the media. They have the responsibility to base their criticisms on facts and their meetings should be peaceful and legal. They should inform local authorities and the police when they’re making a protest. They also have the responsibility not to intimidate other people. Pressure groups use a variety of methods such as the internet, letters, lobbying, petitions, demonstrations and mass media campaigns. An example of a pressure group is Greenpeace (campaigns on environmental issues).…

    composition and functions of the Malaysian Parliament and the State Legislative Assembly.

    Malaysia's Parliament is a bicameral legislature constituted by the House of Representatives (Dewan Rakyat), the Senate (Dewan Negara) and the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. As the ultimate legislative body in Malaysia, Parliament is responsible for passing, amending and repealing acts of law. Parliament has the exclusive power to make federal laws over matters falling under the Federal List and the power, which is shared with the State Legislatures, to make laws on matters in the Concurrent List. The other function of the Parliament is to impose new taxes, additional one or abolish any taxes and to approved the nation’s budget for a specific year. Parliament's members are permitted to speak on any subject without fear of censure outside Parliament; the only body that can censure an MP is the House Committee of Privileges. Such "Parliamentary immunity" takes effect from the moment a Member of Parliament is sworn in, and only applies to when that member has the floor; it does not apply to statements made outside the House. An exception is made by the Sedition Act passed by Parliament in the wake of the 13 May racial riots in 1969. Under the Act, all public discussion of repealing certain Articles of the Constitution dealing with Bumiputra privileges such as Article 153 is illegal. This prohibition is extended to all members of both houses of Parliament. Members of Parliament are also forbidden from criticizing the King and judges.…
