Abstract

A year has passed since the latest reform of the Portuguese Parliament came into force in September 2007. Some saw it then as a true revolution in the workings of parliament; it is time, therefore, to see what has really changed. This article summarises the main changes inserted in the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly of the Republic, analyses their political consequences and, taking as its reference the plenary sittings agenda in the last two years, concludes with a look at the real impact of the 2007 parliamentary reform in the political work, and in the public image of the Portuguese Parliament.
