- tremon 3y agoThat doesn't mean it's not legal. It can be undemocratic but still legal.
- neilwilson 3y agoThe House of Lords has no capacity to stop legislation that the House of Commons is determined to pass. Only the capacity to delay it. That's why an appointed chamber works. They have no mandate and no legitimacy to do anything other than suggest. And which then stops the stalemate you get in other systems with multiple conflicting mandates.
