Can any Brits in the house offer an ELI5 on how this whole thing works? <.< I'm a Yank lurking in Canada, so I only kind of know about the British government. As I understand it though, the TLDR is:
House of Commons -- Commoners, are democratically elected.
House of Lords -- Clergymen and Nobility. Initially -all- noble families were given a seat, then they had to be appointed.
Aymeric -- How the hell do we refer to him? Is he the Lord Speaker or the Lord Chancellor now?
Both Houses -- Either can introduce a bill, but it can't pass without the other's approval? Neither can stop a bill from going into law, but they can scrutinize it and send it back for editing until a compromise has been reached (in theory anyway)?
It seems like the system has been through a lot of reform, especially since the early 2000's, so it'd be interesting to know which version SE is imagining here.
Man, they left so much unexplained. :/
