Synopsis
This book provides a deep dive into the history of the House of Lords, the unelected upper chamber of the British Parliament and one of the most enduring features of the British political system. The author traces the House's origins back to the medieval period, discusses its changing composition and powers over time, and analyses its role in the British constitution. The book also examines the debates surrounding reform of the House of Lords, which has been a contentious issue for centuries. Ultimately, the author argues that the House of Lords remains a valuable part of the British political system, providing a check on the power of the House of Commons and safeguarding the rights of minorities.
