Show detail Hide detail

Second of two-part program examining the role of the back-bencher within the Canadian, British and U.S. political systems. Host Robert McKenzie talks with two Canadian members of Parliament, two American congressmen, and (via satellite) a British MP, discussing the role of back-benchers in their respective systems. Canadians John Roberts (Liberal) and Gordon Fairweather (Conservative); Americans Charles Goodell (Republican) and Richard McCarthy (Democrat); and British MP Richard Crossman, former leader of the House of Commons and editor of "The New Statesman", respond to McKenzie's thesis that back-bench legislators are increasingly viewed as impotent and primarily play the role of ombudsmen, dominated by Cabinet and Chief Executives. Varying views on the limitations of their jobs and their power are presented including a view of MPs as mere lobby fodder for the Party. McCarthy notes a change from the 19th century when Congress exerted more power than the Whitehouse. Also discussed is the trend towards populist politics on topical issues. <30mn>
