项目摘要

This project will analyse the process by which parliamentary rules are changed in the UK House of Commons, to assess how far - and why - this process is controlled by the government.Parliamentary rules have important political consequences, because they shape how parliament operates and distribute power and resources between MPs. Among other things, these rules structure the processes of law-making, political debate, and government accountability. However, parliamentary procedures are not set in stone. Instead, MPs are often able to establish new rules and amend existing ones. As a result, many academics have tried to explain how parliamentary rules are chosen and changed.A widespread existing argument is that the process of choosing parliamentary rules is dominated by the government. This is a frequent claim about the UK parliament, and a common assumption in comparative studies of other legislatures. Such claims are important, because they suggest that governments may rewrite parliaments' rules to suit their own interests. This could limit opportunities for MPs to scrutinise and challenge ministers, or to present their own policy alternatives. Moreover, this isn't just an abstract hypothetical concern - recent years have seen much criticism in the UK, during Brexit and the pandemic, that the government has too much control over how parliament operates.However, existing academic work on this subject has a number of limitations. Most importantly, very little work systematically describes and explains the process by which parliamentary procedures are changed. This is true of both comparative and UK-focused literature. Some quantitative work analyses the timing of reforms or cross-national procedural variation. Other qualitative studies have explored specific episodes of reform. But we lack a clear overall picture of exactly how far, why, and with what consequences, the government controls parliamentary rules.This project will thus assess the extent, sources, and consequences of government control over procedures in the UK House of Commons, and suggest potential avenues for reform. I will pursue this aim through three specific objectives. First, I will systematically describe how the process of procedural change unfolds in the UK House of Commons, develop and test an explanation for these patterns, and identify their consequences. I will do this by summarizing formal reform patterns since the nineteenth-century, and by using interviews and committee reports for a more detailed analysis of reform processes since 2005. This combination will allow me to explore how the government's role has evolved over time, as well as how the system currently operates. Second, I will establish an overview of the formal rules governing the consideration of procedural reforms in a wider set of parliamentary democracies. This will allow me to understand the variety of options that exist for organising this important political process. Third, I will draw together the previous two components to produce practical reform proposals for the UK, outlining how the House of Commons might ensure it is genuinely able to choose its own internal rules.This project will have a number of benefits. First, it will help provide a more thorough understanding of the way in which parliamentary rules are chosen and changed in the UK, shedding light on which actors dominate this process, why they do so, and with what consequences. Second, it will help policymakers, researchers, and citizens understand how the UK's system for changing parliamentary procedures might be reformed, by providing evidence about how the current approach works, and what alternative approaches are available. Finally, the project will provide valuable new data for other researchers who want to understand the process of parliamentary reform in the UK and elsewhere, thus allowing exploration of further important questions about how democratic institutions are organised.
该项目将分析英国下议院议会规则的变化过程,以评估这一过程在多大程度上-以及为什么-由政府控制。议会规则具有重要的政治后果,因为它们塑造了议会的运作方式,并在议员之间分配权力和资源。除其他外,这些规则构成了立法、政治辩论和政府问责制的过程。然而,议会程序并非一成不变。相反,议员们通常能够制定新规则并修改现有规则。因此,许多学者试图解释议会规则是如何选择和改变的,一个普遍存在的观点是,议会规则的选择过程是由政府主导的。这是关于英国议会的一个常见说法,也是其他立法机构比较研究中的一个常见假设。这些主张很重要,因为它们表明政府可能会改写议会规则以满足自己的利益。这可能会限制议员审查和挑战部长的机会,或提出自己的政策选择。此外,这不仅仅是一个抽象的假设性问题--近年来,在英国退欧和疫情期间,英国国内出现了许多批评,认为政府对议会的运作控制过多。然而,现有的关于这一主题的学术研究存在一些局限性。最重要的是,很少有工作系统地描述和解释议会程序改变的过程。比较文学和以英国为中心的文学都是如此。一些定量工作分析了改革的时机或跨国程序差异。其他定性研究探讨了改革的具体情况。但我们对政府控制议会规则的程度、原因和后果缺乏清晰的整体认识。因此,本项目将评估政府控制英国下议院程序的程度、来源和后果,并提出潜在的改革途径。我将通过三个具体目标来实现这一目标。首先,我将系统地描述如何在英国下议院的程序变化的过程中展开,开发和测试这些模式的解释,并确定其后果。为此,我将总结19世纪以来的正式改革模式,并利用访谈和委员会报告对2005年以来的改革进程进行更详细的分析。这种结合将使我能够探索政府的角色如何随着时间的推移而演变,以及该系统目前如何运作。第二,我将概述在更广泛的议会民主国家中审议程序改革的正式规则。这将使我了解组织这一重要政治进程的各种选择。第三,我将把前两部分结合起来,为英国提出切实可行的改革建议,概述下议院如何确保自己真正能够选择自己的内部规则。首先,它将有助于更透彻地了解英国议会规则的选择和改变方式,阐明哪些行为者主导这一过程,为什么他们这样做,以及产生了什么后果。其次,它将帮助政策制定者、研究人员和公民了解英国改变议会程序的制度如何改革,提供有关当前方法如何运作的证据,以及有哪些替代方法可用。最后,该项目将为其他研究人员提供有价值的新数据,他们希望了解英国和其他地方的议会改革过程,从而探索有关民主制度如何组织的进一步重要问题。
