Description
Excerpt from Germany and the Germans, Vol. 2 of 2
How comes it that English people ordinarily take but a. Superficial interest in German politics That while the gyrations of French parties are followed with tolerable closeness, it is only in the time of exceptional excitement that the Briton, to whom a political atmo sphere is life and health, ceases to be indifferent, and then only temporarily, to the movements and policies of parties in Germany. Probably the first. Reason that suggests itself is also the weightiest. Germany is not under parliamentary government. In neither her Imperial Assembly nor in the Diets of the Federal States are afiairs really controlled by parties and votes. There is thus lacking to parliamentary life a strong popular factor and influence.
