James Gray MP: How the Prime Minister should be allowed to take Britain to war

It’s time for a Parliamentary prerogative to replace the Royal prerogative.

The challenge of shrinking the Lords

Partisanship is driving the bloat of the upper house and undermining its proper function. Reformers should be careful not to entrench it.

Daniel Hannan MEP: Cameron’s peerages are helping to discredit the Lords

While, even now, some high-minded people are getting through, many peerages are going to time-serving quangocrats.

Nadhim Zahawi MP: The party best placed to challenge the SNP is the Conservatives. Fiscal autonomy is our best friend.

When Scots start to become impatient with higher taxes or see the fallout from anti-business rhetoric and policy, they will know who to blame.

Parliament’s traditions are something to cherish

Mhairi Black is a separatist, and knows what she’s doing when she tries to shame our living links to this country’s past.

Chris White: How the new EVEL system will work

On English-only consent votes, the Conservative majority will leap to a whopping 104.

The growth of patronage and payroll power has already reduced the ability of the Commons to scrutinise properly. It shouldn’t be eroded further.

Sanjoy Sen: In next year’s Scottish elections, we must be hot on Labour’s tail

Opportunities for Scotland’s Conservatives lie ahead – if the right organisation and resources can be found.

Securing the Majority 8) A Constitutional Convention

We need devolution for England’s counties as well as its cities – and that can’t simply be imposed from the centre.

Nick de Bois: London suffers most from the injustice of the Barnett Formula

Reforming it could free up more funds to help the poorest without an extra penny of taxes or cuts.

Select committees need mechanisms for English business

The SNP are now entitled to substantial committee representation. If EVEL is to mean anything, it must extend beyond the chamber.

Securing the Majority 1) The Lords

We begin a new ConservativeHome series on implementing the Conservative Manifesto – starting with one of the main obstacles to some of its proposals.
