The British House of Lords constitutes an ideal chamber for the purposes of studying party cohesion. It is a chamber in which the political parties lack the constraints and incentives that in other legislative chambers normally constitute the means available to ensure party unity. Analysis of voting behaviour in the House of Lords demonstrates a high level of cohesion. There is no evidence to sustain institutional explanations of cohesion. The most plausible explanations are sociological, socialisation to party norms occurring prior to arrival in parliament. philip norton (lord norton of louth) is professor of government at the university of hull and a conservative peer.
