Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the historical decline of parliamentary integrity and independence in Great Britain, arguing that a corrupt parliament was a relatively modern phenomenon. The author traces the origins of parliamentary corruption to the late 17th century, examining its insidious effects on the balance of power between the monarchy and the people. The author argues that the sale of parliamentary seats and the proliferation of patronage positions created a class of MPs more beholden to the Crown than to their constituents. This fascinating and well-researched book sheds new light on the origins of parliamentary corruption and its profound impact on British history.
