- HOL
- Cannot pass laws- only SCRUTINISES
- UNELECTED
- NOT representative off all people
- PARTY SYSTEM
- PARTY DISCIPLINE ensures that MPs tend to use the judgement of their party, NOT THEIR OWN
- Therefore, they do NOT TRULY REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENCIES
- This RESTRICTS FREEDOM of DEBATE & VOTING in the HOC
- Many do not vote because they think it's a waste of time
- PARTY DISCIPLINE ensures that MPs tend to use the judgement of their party, NOT THEIR OWN
- EXECUTIVE CONTROL
- Parliament's ability to SCRUTINISE the EXECUTIVE is WEAK
- This is because the GOVT of the DAY usually has a MAJORITY CONTROL of the HOC
- This means MOST of their PROPOSALS will be PASSED

- This means MOST of their PROPOSALS will be PASSED
- This is because the GOVT of the DAY usually has a MAJORITY CONTROL of the HOC
