...product of privilege, and few would care to disagree with his assessment. Yet he once neglected the opportunity--available for half a year during the 1960s by virtue of an act of Parliament--to renounce his inherited peerage and run for the elected House of Commons. Nor, in all likelihood, would he seriously consider giving up his seat in the House of Lords for the sake of a constituency should the opportunity present itself once more, ventures Harvard Professor of Government Roderick MacFarquhar--who held a Labour seat in Commons--and other associates of Carrington.

He is wrong--unfortunately in the first case and fortunately in the second--about both of these things, and I suspect he has no experience and little knowledge of either of them. It might...
