John Stuart Mill 
Considerations on Representative Government 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It seems to me, however, from various indications, and from none more than the recent debates on Reform of Parliament, that both Conservatives and Liberals (if I may continue to call them what they still call themselves) have lost confidence in the poli~ tical creeds which they nominally profess, while neither side appears to have made any progress in providing.
