Senate: The House of Lords “Thatcher’s Cabinet”
The House of Lords, an advanced level committee, otherwise known as the House of Peers, is the second chamber and the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. This archaic institution as old as the English monarchy itself serves the practical purpose of challenging the bills passed by the elected House of Commons, scrutinizing it, granting it the sufficient detail and debating it without being bound by party or constituency loyalties. The Lords, or Peers, who are compromised of Hereditary Peers of aristocratic birth who inherited the position, the Lord Spiritual who are bishops of the Church of England, as well as notable leaders of other faiths and the Life Peers appointed by the Prime Minister or the House of Lords Appointments Commission act as the counter-weight to partisan politics, as well
as being a vital step in the lawmaking process. Although many reforms have been made and many opponents have attempted to bring down this conservative force in British politics, it remains a strong, important institution in the British democratic system, having fought against changes that threatened the well-being of the nation for a Millennia
