New cards

Democratic

  • people vote MPs into HoC, MPs represent the public, laws approved by public, can re-elect govt.

    • Challenge: Hereditary peers in HoL, may not know a lot since title was inherited from birth - undemocratic

2
New cards

Thorough

  • multiple stages (5 reading stages in both houses), allows for range of opinions, second reading allows for debate & discussion, committee stage allows for amendments to be suggested, report stage (if amendments made) allows for those amendments to be discussed

    • Challenge: Very time consuming due to large amount of discussion

3
New cards

Well debated

  • second reading allows for debate & discussion, committee stage allows for examining bill in detail, so lots of discussion to suggest amendments, report stage - amendments debated and voted on by full house, third reading - final vote on bill, 6 MPs can request further debate for final bill.

    • Challenge: May cause disagreements in HoC and HoL, may cause parliamentary ping-pong if disagree on amendments

Quick decision making

  • in times of emergency, law can be debated and enacted quickly - Corona Virus Act 2020

    • Challenge: By making law, there is room for mistakes
