Talk:Upper house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under "powers", it says "The British House of Lords is sometimes seen as having a special role of safeguarding the constitution...". This is not strictly speaking correct because the UK doesn't have a consititution.
- It's got an uncodified one, so if the lower house tried to pass something that overrode long established precedent, that could be considered screwing with the "constitution". 69.142.2.68 11:47, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] House of Lords Common?
Unter the common titles heading, it says that 'House of Lords' Is common, despite the fact that only one exists. Am I mistaken?
- Historically there have been a few "Houses of Lords", but now the British on is the only one Keeperoftheseal 01:53, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merging
The Second Chamber should be merged into this article. Now there's a redirect from Second chamber (lower c) to here. The same with First Chamber, but here the redirect has the capital C. --Hu Totya 12:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
