It would be simple folly to assert that Sir Walter Scott did not share the sentiment of Scottish nationalism ; yet the influence of Scott 's genius throughout Europe was favoured by , and in a sense was the fruit of , the union with England . It means the status or persona in regard to that land formerly sustained by another . Yet the comparative weakness of federalism is no accident . It means the constant effort of statesmanship to balance one state of the confederacy against another . If the House of Commons deliberately excludes the intervention of any law Court in matters which the House may deem ( with very dubious truth ) to concern the House alone , we can scarcely wonder that artisans should have no love for judicial decisions . By mentioning assigns the first grantor did not offer a covenant to any person who would thereafter purchase the land . Third Objection Proportional representation , just because it aims at the representation of opinions rather than of persons , tends to promote the existence in the House of Commons of numerous party groups and also fosters the admitted evil of log-rolling .
