The House of Lords carries out several legislative functions, since the establishment in the 14th Century and has been a vital part of the British constitution since. Their role consists of scrutinising and amendments of bills passed by the House of Commons (Russell, 2010). Whilst they are important, unlike the House of Commons the Lords are unelected, which impedes on democracy.

The government is a political party with the majority of MPs, this is currently the House of Commons. This is probably the biggest influence on parliament as a whole due to them being hard to control by any other house, this is due to them having the majority of power and the only way they can be made weak is if members of the Commons start turning against one-another. Most of the main bills that occur come from the government, so if the campaign did pass and get enough attention then it would…

Prime Minister of Canada is a great gig. If you’re going to be the leader of a country, it doesn’t get much better than Canada. We have so much going for us. One of our greatest assets actually has nothing to do with us at all but rather the stellar quality of our neighbours. And every Prime Minister since Mackenzie King could count on that. But that’s the thing about great neighbours, isn’t it? You think they’re gonna be there forever and then one day there’s a sold sign out front and you’re…

The golden age of parliamentary democracy in the United Kingdom, pre modern party system, is where large bombastic speeches could change the entirety of the direction of a nation. The composition of Parliament, specifically the House of Commons, in Canada has never been through the golden age of parliamentary government, where no member had a distinct party affiliation. Basic analysis of the underlying political framework leads to indisputable electoral bias towards political parties. This…

executed by all adult citizens that freely elected the representatives. Democracy rests upon the principles of majority rule and individual rights. Democracies protect its citizens against all-powerful government. Democracies understand that one of their prime functions is to protect such basic human rights as freedom of speech and religion; the right to equal protection under law; and the opportunity to organize and participate fully in the political, economic, and cultural life of society.…
