W artykule poruszona zostaje problematyka konstrukcji prawnej kadencji Izby Gmin pod rządami przepisów ustawy o sztywnej kadencji parlamentów z 2011 r. Autor dokonuje analizy przyjętych rozwiązań prawnych, wskazując na ich daleko idące konsekwencje ustrojowe. W pierwszej kolejności wyjaśnia on na czym polegała zmiana, na jaką zdecydował się brytyjski ustrojodawca w 2011 r. Następnie przedstawia skutki zniesienia dotychczasowej prerogatywy królewskiej służącej rozwiązywaniu parlamentu. W końcowej części artykułu omawia wreszcie nowe procedury rozwiązywania parlamentu, z założeniem wyeksponowania ich znaczenia dla funkcjonującego nad Tamizą konstytucyjnego systemu państwa.

Artykuł poświęcony jest specyficznemu sposobowi głosowania w parlamencie brytyjskim. Jest on określany mianem „podziału”, gdyż zarówno posłowie jak i Lordowie są dosłownie dzieleni na dwie grupy – zwolenników i przeciwników kwestii, która jest poddawana pod głosowanie – i oddają swój głos w specjalnych pomieszczeniach, zwanych kuluarami do głosowań. Autor przedstawia przebieg takiego „podziału”, a także wyjaśnia dodatkowe kwestie związane z głosowaniem oraz zasadami ustalania jego ostatecznych wyników. W artykule opisane są również udane i nieudane próby zmiany tego systemu, które miały miejsce na przełomie XX i XXI wieku. Posługując się metodą analizy instytucjonalno-prawnej Autor wyjaśnia, dlaczego system ten jest tak trwały i udowodnia tezę, że pomimo pewnych drobnych modyfikacji nie należy się spodziewać, że zostanie on zastąpiony jakąś formą głosowania elektronicznego.

The paper is devoted to the method of voting, which is typical for the British Parliament. This method is referred to as “division”, because both Members of Parliament (MPs) and Lords are literally divided into two groups – supporters and opponents of the issue being voted – and cast their vote in special rooms called division lobbies. The author presents the process of such “division” and explains some additional issues related to voting and the rules that are used to determine its final results. The paper also describes successful and failed attempts to change this system that took place at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Using legal and institutional analysis method, the author explains why this system is so persistent, and proves the thesis that despite some minor modifications that have been made to it, one should not expect it to be replaced by some form of electronic voting.

The article deals with a new legal institution recall of member of parliament that was established in 2015 in the UK. The aim of this institution is to give voters of a constituency a right to force a by-election, if they are unhappy with their MP. They can use it, however, only if certain conditions are fulfilled. According to the bill it becomes possible to initiate the recall procedure when a member of parliament: 1) is convicted by a UK court of an offence and receives a custodial sentence not more than 12 months, 2) is suspended by the House of Commons for more than 10 sitting days or more than 14 calendar days, 3) is convicted of an offence described in Parliamentary Standards Act 2009. These three restrictive provisions indicate that the recall procedure was not drafted as a mechanism of political accountability of deputies. The real intention of lawmaker was, as may be assumed, protection of ethical standards in the parliamentary life of the UK. As a matter of fact, with recall procedure voters can get rid of a member of parliament who broke some ethic elementary rules while holding his/her mandate. Analyzing the content of the new regulations and their ratio legis, the author tries to answer a question what role the new institution can play in functioning the constitutional system of the UK and following in its political life as well. His general conclusion is that even though we consider the new rules as a kind of revolutionary move in legal dimension (like for example the adjustment of the parliamentary mandate characteristics), we cannot expect any revolution in practice.
