We have had the conversation about power, relinquishing power and empowering the Parliament. Is there a role or has there been a role for an independent authority in any of the areas Professor Farrell has studied to look at this issue and make recommendations, such as an electoral commission to look at constituency boundaries? If there is a failure in what Professor Farrell says to reform the Parliament beyond cosmetic changes, is there a role or not for an independent authority to come up with its proposals that should be supported by Government and Opposition?
