Well you are not alone in feeling a revolution needs to happen.  Many countries all over the world, including Canada which is where I am from keep hearing these politicians issuing statements such as "when we came to power".  They seem to forget who gave them power.  The whole political structure needs reviewing.  Through out the so called Democratic world, we have allowed a reversal of the way things are supposed to be.  We ask for protection and economic management, but instead get laws, restriction, and control.  Politicians seem to ignore written constitutions which BELONG TO THE PEOPLE.  They are supposed to uphold these terms and conditions.  We have allowed it to happen, and need to understand that politics will not change unless we make them change.  It's our car, and they are the chauffeurs.  We want a ride not to be told how to sit.  They will not change unless we change and that is by making our demands fully apparent.

Get in touch with your Congressmen, particularly in the House.  This is very much a real debate, and they are looking to the voters.

Any Senator is entitled to speak on any bill before the Senate, But if they speak, and speak and speak for days, and then some other senator gets on his hind legs and does the same thing,followed by another and another, they can keep it going until the senate rises and the session is over without resolving the bill!..After that, its usually refered off to some commitee and never heard of again!..In Australia, this cannot be done anymore, because the Govt can move a vote on it!..They seldom do this though, for fear of govt members crossing the floor!

The Speaker of the House of Commons does not speak in debate, take sides, or vote, but can speak. In fact, his primary role is to call on members to let them speak and rule on points of order. It is somewhat similar to the role of the President of the Senate, pro tempore or otherwise.

If you are talking about the Electoral Register, every Police Station holds the current and past registers ,as do the Public Libraries. I do not think you will find it on line.\nIf you want to find Members of Parliament ,and their E-Mail Address just type 'Members of Parliament'into you Browser, Ask Box.

First a bit of background:\n\nFrance -- like many other countries -- has a parliament (= US Congress). This Parliament is divided into two parts: a Senate (Sénat) and a "Chambre des Députés" (= US House of representatives).\n\nOf course, this parliament is different from the US Congress, but just remember that it works mostly in the same way.\n\nLaws are then created in the following way:\n\n1. A "Projet de Loi" (Law Project) is presented to Parliament -- usually to the Chambre des Députés -- either by an MP (Member of Parliament) or, more frequently, by a member (minister) of the current Government. Another possibility is that an existing law needs to be amended/modified, in which case a "Projet d'Amendement" is presented and discussed exactly in the same way as a normal law.\n\n2. The law (or amendment) is then discussed by the "Députés", who amend and/or modify it.\n\n3. The Law is then subject to a vote by the "Députés". All amendments to the law are also voted upon.\n\n4. If accepted, the law then goes to the Senate, where it is again discussed, modified, amended, etc.\n\n5. The Law is then subject to a 2nd vote by the Senate.\n\nAt this stage, several things can happen:\n\n5.1. The law is accepted by both Senate and Chambre des Députés: it then becomes a part of French Law, which means it will become part of one of the French "Law Codes", and that the Government will pass one or more "Décrets d'application", which clarifies the law if needed and commands & instructs all relevant law-enforcement agencies to apply it from a given date.\n\n5.2. The law is rejected by the Senate. It then goes back to the "Chambre des députés" for a 2nd session (Seconde Lecture), during which it will be again modified, amended, voted upon, etc... after which it will go back to the Senate for another round.\n\nStill with me? Good!\n\nAt any point during this whole process, a group of "députés" or senators can call upon the "Conseil Constitutionnel" (Consitution Council) to pronounce itself on the constitutionality of a law.\n\nThis means that -- if the Conseil Constitutionnel finds the law unconstitutional -- any law can be rejected outright, and won't be allowed to be discussed any further. This is, in effect, a form of constitutional veto on the law.\n\nBut, at any point during this big cycle, the Government can force the law to be adopted, using what is called the "Article 49-3". This is usually very controversial and the mark of a very unpopular text (as was the case recently). If that is the case, the only way to stop the law from being adopted is for the MPs to censor the Government, which is hard to do, since governments usually also have a mjority of their own party in Parliament.\n\nAlso, the President can force a law -- or even parts of a law -- to go back to Parliament if he is not satisfied with it.\n\nFinally, the only exception to the above rules is the case when there is a constitutional change. In that case, the changes to the constitution are debated by _both_ the Senate and the Chambre des Députés in a "special" Parliament in Versailles (and not in Paris). Otherwise, the law-making rules are almost the same.\n\nIn Paris, the French Senate is based on the Left Bank, at the "Palais du Luxembourg" and the "Chambre des Députés" is based at the "Assemblée Nationale", near the river Seine.
