The House of Lords is an absolute mess of an institution but at least they can't actually pass or prevent the passage of legislation. Their powers are limited to amending bills, making recommendations, and delaying legislation.
- vacri 9y agoThat's some serious hair-splitting. "They don't set rules, they just amend bills"...
- platinumrad 9y agoIt's a very limited form of amending (they can't touch money bills for example) and the House of Commons can always get its way in the end as amendments can eaisly be rejected by the "lower" house.
