The way I am applying it to the present proposals is that whatever may be the claims of the Government of the day, it may well be that in a First Class Political Crisis, in which the destinies of the country may be thought to turn on what is going to occur - as happened in 1711, when the whole question of peace and war in Europe depended on such a vote - one could get a situation in which the speedy discharge of such a measure depended on whether the Government could get a majority in the other place.
