Parliamentary whips in Great Britain, Australia and Canada
Drobilíková, Tereza ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Skutilová, Marie (referee)
The bachelor thesis analyses parliamentary whips in the British House of Commons, Australian House of Representatives and Canadian House of Commons - their history, powers, and responsibilities. The aim of this thesis is to map out the history of the position, based on the available sources, and subsequently compare the position in among the three chosen countries. The bachelor thesis is divided into four parts. In the first part, the terms "whip" and "Chief Whip" are introduced and defined. The second part focuses on a brief summary of the political systems in all three countries with the emphasis on the lower chamber of the parliaments, which is where whips carry out their duties. The third part is dedicated to the history, powers, and responsibilities of the whips in the selected countries. The fourth and final part compares the position of whips based on criterion defined in the introduction chapter.
