Parliamentary elections are the foundation of the democratic State,
providing legitimacy to government and an opportunity for citizens
to participate in the democratic process. But despite the crucial
role of elections in government and society, the law governing them
is fragmented, both conceptually and in terms of the legal
framework. This book examines each stage of the electoral process
from the perspective of the candidate seeking to become an MP:
eligibility and qualification, the candidate selection process,
nominations, disputed elections and then, lastly, disqualification
or exit from the House of Commons. Each stage of the process is
considered in light of developments in political practice and human
rights jurisprudence, and an argument is made for the rethinking
and reform of the law of parliamentary candidacy and membership.
The book takes into account the reforms ushered in by the
parliamentary expenses scandal of 2009, and also looks to the new
electoral era that may eventuate under the Liberal
Democrat-Conservative Coalition Government.
