My Opinion

The question that came across the students to decide whether at the House of Commons is working effectively and the executives have constraints or not. However, my stance for this notion is that yes, the house of commons in no longer an effective constraint on the executive. We can see various examples over time that although being a pure democratic establishment still, the executives implement decisions that get no support by the members of House of Commons. For example, Margaret Thatcher, she got known as the iron lady, everyone got scared of her. However, Margaret Thatcher's tenure as British prime minister is an exception to the general rule. During much of Thatcher's 12-year period as premier, she was the only woman serving in the cabinet and showcased immense power. Secondly, Tony Blair had enormous influence in driving the parliament to the Iraq war, as he wanted. However, George Galloway Member of Parliament got kicked out from party as he was against the Iraq war. Although, other few Member of Parliaments had resigned for this issue, but still the participation in Iraq war was unable to get stopped. Another example I came across to support my stance is of David Cameron. He raised the tuition fees, although Labor party's Member of Parliament and many Members of Parliament from his party were not agreeing with the increase in tuition fees.

Parliament has two chambers - the House of Lords and the House of Commons, which consists of elected members (Bale, 2006, pp. 28-34).

This thing has also leaded to the governments becoming unstable at times because of their dependency on the smaller parties. In general, the people of UK like stability in the parliament, and sometimes a number of people have an opinion that they do not trust the major political parties of the country, but still, they elect them in the elections, and compromise for stability. This is the story in both the House of Lords, and the house of common, the main parties are facing these problems. The leading parties get bound in both of the houses, and they cannot take any step. These large parties have everything to lose in the election, ...
