Parliaments of the United Kingdom

[Cynical Ninja]

Unelected LORDS with lifetime positions? You need the fucking Queen to invite you to form a Party? Make sure you sent in your royal tax. You need her authority to do business in Government? That relic from anti-freedom medieval times? No wonder you people have no sense of power over Government and don't appreciate what it means or takes for the balance of power to be with the PEOPLE. Just asking, I have not researched to confirm. Just checking out how the principles of freedom are doing over there, between gun bans.

In the United Kingdom, Parliament consists of the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Monarch. The House of Commons is composed of 646 members who are directly elected by British citizens to represent single-member constituencies. The leader of a Party that wins more than half the seats or less than half but can count on support of smaller parties to achieve enough support to pass law is invited by the Queen to form a government. Legally the Queen is the head of government and no business in Parliament can be taken without her authority. The House of Lords is a body of long-serving, unelected members: 92 of whom inherit their seats and 574 of whom have been appointed to lifetime seats.

The lords have stopped a large number of bullshit new labour policies from getting passed through parliament. Its a good job they are there to counteract the fucking new labour nazi party.
