In taking on the lords, the government finds itself on far less favorable ground than it had bargained for. Apart from the abdication which aroused no party differences, Britain has not had to face a major constitutional crisis since 1911, But it assuredly faces one now, and at time when nation at large is grappling with almost overwhelming economic difficulties. Government can do one of three things.

It can: Accept lords decision, leave veto powers as they are (that is with the Lords able to hold up legislation for three sessions) and take a chance on the Lords' acquiesence in the steel nationalization project: Re-open negotiations, which 2. have already broken down once, in effort to reach some allparty agreement on comprehensive scheme to reform the House of Lords, A scheme which has the widest support in all parties. -on its rights, push the 3. Insist bill through by Commons action in defiance of the veto and introduce the steel measure next year as planned. This would involve calling special session of ariament this fall so that the Lords' bill can be passed in three successive sessions, as required by constitution and still become law before this Parliament expires.

Of the three choices the first is virtually out of the question, since it would he regarded by all labor as A sign of weakness. The possibility of a compromise does not look bright at the moment. So the government is left with the third choice -and must face all that a constitutional crisis implies.

Actually, the largest single group of voters (38 per cent) felt that an election should NOT have been called at this time, but that the government should have waited.

A third (33 per cent) however believed that the government was right in holding the election at this time. It cannot be stressed too often that it is dangerous to attempt to convert popular vote figures, such as those given in the table at the head of this report, into terms of the number of seats held by each party.
