@EnglishPersonAnon 2 жыл бұрын

@@atanasapostolov2731 to add to what has already been said, the Lords tend to have a huge amount of experience and (because they're not trying to score points for election) an easier time with avoiding partisan arguments - so part of their role is to read what the commons have passed, spot loopholes and potential for abuse etc and send it back with suggested amendments. Basically it's quality control, and it usually works very well for the day to day stuff. The exceptions get publicised more of course because "everything in Parliament mostly ok today" makes a rubbish headline.

What people don't know about Michael Bates: He's done A LOT of charity work by taking long walks. Promoting the Olympic Truce, which is meant to be a period during the weeks of the Olympics and Paralympics where athletes are guaranteed safe passage and the idea of world peace (cough cough Russia broke this truce three times in 2008, 2014, and now 2022 respectively), he walked from Olympia in Greece all the way to Westminster before the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2013 on London 2012's anniversary, he walked from London to Derry to raise for Save the Children in Syria. He raised £50,000/over $65,000 over the course of a month. In 2014, he walked from London to Berlin, helping raise £41,000/over $53,500. In 2015, he walked ANOTHER thousand miles in China from Beijing to Hangzhou for the Red Cross. Finally in 2016, to promote the Olympic Truce like he did for London 2012, he walked from Buenos Aires (2018 Summer Youth Olympics host) to Rio de Janeiro for TWO THOUSAND miles and raised funds for UNICEF. *The dude's a force to be reckoned with, worthy of his title of Lord*

Not really. British Law only allows MPs and Lords to resign upon death or appointment to office of profit under the crown. It's not even the Prime Minister who approves resignation, it's up to the Chancellor of Exchequer (though the Chancellor does answer to the Prime Minister). They literally created fictional appointments to allow MPs to resign, but you don't just go to the house and say "I offer my resignation." You apply for an appointment to these fictional offices. It's just a stunt more than anything.
