Other europeean countries have parliaments where every MP is elected. Lots of countries has just one parliament, and they decied laws a s o!
Lots of countries also have the MPs elected by % of the wotes. Counties can send more than one personn to the parliament. How many? It depends of the population in that area?
Why cant UK have this?
When shall the UK be mordern?
When shall i be better to spell enlish words?

It's important to remember that no house will ever be ideal and perfect; if the Commons think the Lords is wrong, they can push laws through. If the Lords think the Commons is wrong, they raise public debate about the issue and try to convince the people, thus trying to prove the Commons wrong.
It's not perfect, but what system is? At least this way, we get public debate about the effectiveness of laws that the Commons just can't provide; and makes more amendments to laws than the Commons.

Can anyone tell me, do most people in the UK like or hate the house of lords. To an American it sounds like a really bad idea, like if our senate was full of people that were appointed by the queen of England or born into their seats-- which would be even worse. Our Senate is already too full of American aristocracy and its ruining our nation. However most of the time when I hear people complain its about Tony Blair and the labor party. Do they hate the house of lords less or more? Why?

Im sorry. They only block laws that the peoples representatives voted in. If you want to keep the house of lords, the only way to do this is to make it all life peers and remove religious lords

this is why american politics fail so frequently. our politicians are nothing but politically correct people pleasers who no nothing about economics and are at the whim of wealthy campaign donators (these are the people who really control the government). the house of lords is comprised of highly educated individuals who can make rational decisions devoid of partisan bias.

As far as I know some are inherit the seat and some are appointed by the Queen.

As to who appoints the Lords? I believe it is the House of Lords Appointment Commission, with some nominations party-based, others independent (cross-bench).

i think some are there by birth, but i think the political parties appoint them, which is a good think as experts in certain fiels say medicine wouldn't want to do it as they wouldn't have time to run in an election.
