Administrative Reform and the Local Government Board (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Administrative Reform and the Local Government Board Reform by administration possesses not only the advantage of not requiring the con sent of a Second Chamber, but it has the further advantage that it has not to be pressed by mere force through a House which includes a minority, who, though unable to prevent reform altogether, can both maul, and to a large extent spoil and delay, all reforms, and, by the very time they consume, as absolutely prevent many reforms as if the obstructive minority were a triumphant majority.
