[Main Features of British Political Tradition​

Answer 1

Answer:

here;

Explanation:

1. We should recognise, as Chadwick (2000: 288- 9) does, that ‘the distinction

between real politics and ideas is artificial – politics is a linguistic practice

and our understanding of any political practice is incomplete if it does not

refer to the discourses that surround and construct it’.

2. Hall (1986: 19) defines ‘institutions’ as: ‘the formal rules, compliance procedures, and the standard operating practices that structure the relationship

between individual in various units of the polity and the economy’.

3. Similarly in a widely read textbook, Dearlove and Saunders (1991: 70) describe

the Westminster Model as ‘a cabinet system of government where close two

party electoral competition produces a party duopoly in the Commons and

an alternating monopoly of the executive that is mandated and able to implement the programme it put before the electorate so that representative and

reasonable government is secured’.

4. Lijphart juxtaposes the Westminster Model of Democracy with a Consensus

Model of Democracy. The latter will be raised in Chapter 6.

5. The Asymmetrical Power Model (Marsh, Richards and Smith 2001: 2003;

Marsh 2008a) offers a more accurate description of how the British political

system functions.

6. For example in a later co- authored work, he suggested that ‘the men who

drafted the Treaty of Union carefully left every institution in England and

every institution in Scotland untouched by the Act, provided that the existence of such an institution was consistent with the main objects of the

Act ... the essential unity of the people’ (Dicey and Rait 1920: 362).

7. For example Bogdanor goes so far as to suggest that ‘the profoundly unitary

nature of the UK, as expressed in the supremacy of Parliament’ (1979:7) was

the defining feature of territorial relations in the UK.

8. See for example Bogdanor (1999), Mitchell (2000) and McGarvey and Cairney

(2008).

9. Johnson argues that ‘in retrospect, it is hardly short of astonishing that this

faith in the virtues and vigour of a bundle of conventions and institutional

practices shaped mainly over a century ago should have endured so long
