Peers Or People? The House Of Lords Weighed In The Balance And Found Wanting An Appeal To History (1907)

Peers or People? The House of Lords Weighed in the Balance and Found Wanting: An Appeal to History (1907) is a book written by William Thomas Stead that examines the role and function of the House of Lords in British politics. Stead argues that the House of Lords, as an unelected body, has no legitimate claim to political power and that its existence undermines the principles of democracy. Drawing on historical examples and contemporary political debates, Stead makes a case for the abolition of the House of Lords and the establishment of a more democratic system of government. The book is a passionate and persuasive argument for political reform and remains relevant to contemporary debates about the role of the House of Lords in British politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
