England a representative Government indeed! Oh yes
that it is. But a representative of what? Of the Monarch people?
No: but of the Monarch and of the House of Lords. For by whom in this government,
divided, as this the supreme power of it is into three branches the concurrence of all which
is necessary to the induced, but at the same time sufficient for every considerable permanent measure, the Monarch
alone has one branch; the Member Lords belonging to that House, another;
branch in the Members of the House of Commons House the
third. the branch, the third and most vitally efficient
branch because it is If This being the case state of things if by representative Government to mean a
Government containing in it a branch in which the people are represented, – in the English government there is
no such branch. For the in that last ? House the a
little less than a majority of those who have a right to sit in it are plac seated in it either by the
Monarch or by some Member of the House of Lords:
one Lord for example seats nine Members: and an
vast overwhelming majority is composed of those whose men seated by individuals whose particular interest is decided
by compleatly identified as it is with the joint sinister interest of the Monarch
and the Lords, is decidedly and inexorably hostile to
the interest of the great body of the people. Thus it is
as to those who have – right, to sit: and as to
those who on the several occasions actually sit, the disproportion
is always much greater: for, of those even of the few who might
be honest if they were not idle, the greater part are, every on each
occasion, kept from being honest by their idleness. ⊞ ⊞ Nor when they do
sit, do they sit, any of
them, but in the atmosphere
of a corruptive
influence, by which
render them in effect
their particular interest is
the identified with
interest will be the particular and sinister
interest of the Monarch
and the Lords, of and that
still more effectually,
than if they had been
merely been seated by them all,
of with scarce
an exception, being in
the condition of men
with bribes in their
hands, given them by the
Monarch and capable
of being taken back by him
for that at pleasure or else,
upon the look out for such bribes. This
state of things is just as notorious as the existence of the two Houses
at themselves: nor does any one, even of those most
interested in denying it, so much as attempt to deny it.
For, the book in which numbers and proportions share all this the facts are manifested and manifested
in names, numbers and< proportions –/add> are in everybody's hands. In favour of it all that is said <add>ever said, is contained in this:
is so it has been, and or and is therefore so such it ought to be.
