What about some random facts? Could someone give me a breakdown of government? The individual houses and stuff. I remember we had a question on THAT...

Arg....okay.
The Houses of Parliament ARE..The House of Lords and The House of Commons. The HoC is more important now, but in the past The HoL was in power. As you can imagine, the HoL is made up of Lords (Barons, Viscounts, Earls, Marquises and Duke(I think..not too sure on Dukes, they're weird)). The HoC is made up of 'common' people. The Queen cannot enter the HoC. Don't ask why, I don't know.
If anyone can add stuff, or correct me, then please do.

The House of Lords' only power now is to prevent laws from being passed for a year.

oh, and because the HoL is an unelected governmental body, we are breaching the EU bill of rights

House of Lords can only stop laws being made three times, can't they?
