Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Outlook, 1907, Vol. 85

Conservative majority; by popular agi tation against the present constitution, and possibly against the continued ex istence, of the Upper House, and, if things go to the full length, an appeal to the country on the question whether the House of Lords can longer veto the popular will. If this issue were pre sented to the country, and the country decided by a great majority against the Lords, and the Upper House refused to recognize the popular decision, the House of Commons might itself, as it has done before, ignore the House of Lords, or resolve that it no longer pos sesses the veto power. None of these alternatives are likely to be necessary. If the House of Lords remembers, as it probably will, the precedents of its own history, it will make a strenuous fight to the last moment, and when it discovers that the Commons and the people are resolutely against it, it will make the best terms it can by way of compromise.
