On a popular TV game show, the game board provides the answer and the contestants have to come up with the question. The game board contains five questions in each of six categories; and the three contestants compete against each other to be the first to "buzz in" to provide the question. While the answers in this book all fall into one category, "American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure," and this list of answers and questions doesn't provide an electronic "buzz in" system, parliamentarians can now join in the fun and try their hand at finding the correct question to parliamentary answers. While this book can't provide you with buzzers and a big answer board, the book does contain lots of answers (along with the "correct" question). The answers and questions can be grouped for playing games like the television show. Another way to use the answers is to transfer them to cards, shuffle the cards, and ask the answers in whatever order they are drawn from the shuffled deck. Whatever way you choose, make it fun! So, contestants, hands on your buzzers and get ready for a fast and fun session of: Here is the Answer! What is the Question?
This book is the first major study of parliamentary questions since Chester's and Bowrings' classic work of 1962. Since then, parliamentary questions have undergone dramatic changes--they are far more numerous, a fixed Prime Minister's Question Time has been introduced, and the party clash has become prominent. A distinguished team of political scientists and clerks of the House of Commons here identify and analyze the changes and put them in a wider political context. This thorough and authoritative study is essential reading for readers interested in parliamentary politics.
Parliamentary questions are a feature of almost all national legislatures. Despite this, we know very little about how questions are used by MPs and what impact questions have on controlling the government. This volume advances our theoretical and empirical knowledge of the use of questioning in a number of different parliamentary settings. The propensity of parliamentarians to ask questions indicates that the interrogatories are an important tool for measuring an individual legislator’s job. Ultimately, how a parliamentarian chooses to use the questioning tool provides a unique insight into legislator behaviour and role orientation. Many of the chapters in this volume provide new empirical measures of legislator activity and use this data to provide new tests of leading theories of legislator behaviour. At an institutional level, questions provide an important source of information for the chamber and are a critical tool of government oversight – as many of the chapters in the volume indicate. Evidence of the impact of questions on executive and bureaucratic oversight challenges conventional views of parliaments as weak and ineffective parts of the political process. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Legislative Studies.
