ABSTRACT
On the House of Commons as an institution the author would like to add this final word. With all the changes that have taken place in it during this last half century, he see no decline in its greatness, nor any ultimate danger that it should be by-passed in its fundamental purposes, above all in the most fundamental of all its purposes, the duty to see that the conditions are maintained which protect the freedom of the ordinary citizen. The author do not accept, either, his fear that majority rule will be abused, and the historic traditions of our constitution broken by the use of angry misconceptions of what those traditions imply. Mr. Amery himself has noted that it is equally accepted by Labour Ministers as by Conservative, and that a Labour Party Conference is permeated by the characteristics of what is best in the Parliamentary system no less than the conferences of the older parties.
