332 THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNMENT [part 11 Houses. For this there are various reasons : the Lower House has alone the power of originating Money Bills, and thiswould leave a Government which had not their support in a helpless condition : then the Upper House has never quite equal powers in regard to Money Bills, while, in all cases save that of the Commonwealth, it does not represent so much democratic feeling as the Lower House. In the latter case the Upper House is more democratic than the Lower, but even there the Government depends on the Lower House. It is indeed conceivable that the Upper House might, in virtue of its position as at once a democratic House and a representative of the states, decide that a Government must depend on it also for its existence, but such a claim has not yet been made by that House, and if made would be very inconvenient in result. The Upper House does not divide on purely party lines, but exercises an independence which would be quite impossible if the Government were to depend on it for its existence. The nearest approach to the control of the Government by the Upper House is perhaps to be seen in the case of the Legislative Council of the Cape. In 1907, by its tactics as to refusing to form the appropriations for the year, it caused Dr. Jameson to agree to a dissolution, and in 1898, according to Wilmot,! it compelled the Government to pass a Redistribution Bill, by threatening to prevent legislation. In the former case the Council had an equal number of members and the Bond was in opposition: in the latter Sir G. Sprigg’s supporters formed the majority of that House. It may be added that it is beyond question? the right of the Governor to decide whom he shall select as Prime Minister. This was asserted by Governor Head in Canada on May 22, 1856, when on receiving certain advice he acknowledged it, but pointed out that it was not a matter on which he was bound to act on advice.
