- This 170,000 word monograph is the product of sustained research over eight years. It provides a comprehensive reassessment of parliamentary sovereignty in the UK, divided into three substantial parts. Part One defends a new account of the nature and functions of parliamentary sovereignty, Part Two reveals a major shift in Parliament’s legislative practice, and Part Three develops a novel normative justification for the manner and form theory. The book exhaustively examines every modern challenge to parliamentary sovereignty, combining legal and political analysis with constitutional theory to reshape conceptual, doctrinal and normative debates about legislative power.
