- It's pretty hard to tell what's happening in parliament from the outside. So we run through how laws are passed in the UK. From their first reading to when the time the Queen gives them royal ascent.

this week in parliament is back!!! this is so useful as a law and politics student, thank you so much!
This is so informative and useful, actually, especially since -- unlike most governments -- the UK/Great Britain/England don't have a formal, all-encompassing Constitution like the Americans and French.
I am totally excited that you are continuing This Week in Parliament!
Guys this is so helpful, really well explained and nice visuals! Would love more videos about the different bills. 👌
This agrees with my training from 25yrs ago. The 'People are Sovereign' mob should watch this.
One thing though; TLDR should use a spell-checker* - I dont think the Queen's 'ascent' is imminent, otherwise we'll have a coronation soon!
* But not the one on my bloody tablet.
As a law student this is extremely useful. Thanks!
More please, Sir!
Hear Hear!
Cover the types of bills please
neek
You want more!
As a viewer from outside the UK, any details about the legislative and executive functions of the UK government is greatly appreciated.
Please discuss about private members bill along with the other variation you stated such as the hybrid bills.
Excellent channel. Great video. Brilliant content. Thank you.
love this video would love a part 2!
An excellent video. I have just used it to help expain the British lawmaking system to a German lawyer. It doesn't cover everything (and couldn't in a short period of time) but is concise and clear. My only quibble is that the presenter speaks quite fast.
Guys, you are amazing, keep this work up!
This Week in Parliament is back? Yes!!!!
Is it back?
@@ZakJames It's coming back soon
Oh, really? We know that? Nice! Can’t wait.
...wait. I’m I being an idiot? I haven’t actually watched the video to the end yet... did it get confirmed?
Okay. I’ve watched the end now and I am an idiot. Good to know. 😂 sorry.
Good morning, sir!
Yes, please, post more about this topic.
And i want to personally thank you for the "Brexit" and "This week in Parliament" rubrics. It's very helpful to understand the UK Parliament and how it works. I always watch Prime Minister Questions, and then go to your channel to complete the information that was spoken on that day in UK Parliament. Keep up with the good work, and thank you for today post. (◠‿◠✿)
"FOR TWO YEARS" cracked me up!
Yes please cover more. Great video.
A video about different types of legislation would be great.
Topic suggestion: It would be great to get a video on the different types of bills.
More of this please.
It's all too long and nothing gets done quickly enough. Can't we just have an autocracy instead? 🤣
"now for the exciting bit" I love your content but. C'mon
😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent explanation
Fantastic! What an excellent breakdown, but I think it'd also be very helpful if you included some word definitions, and more in depth explanations of what's behind the scenes like: What do the words: committee, policy, bill, and amendment mean? What's the difference between a policy and a bill? Who makes and who proposes the bill in the first place? Who decides what things get debated in parliament or not? Thanks dude, and btw, I fricken love your channel
Please make a video explaining private members bill along with the other variation you stated such as the hybrid bills.
I would like to pass a bill requesting more information on bills. Thank you!
Definitely want to see how the other bills are passed
Look forward to the vid on types of bill.
I have heard that when a bill is finally sent to the Queen, it is first translated into old Normandy French. Is this correct?
Topic suggestion: You guys should do a video like this on how the EU parliament works.
You should make a video on how the UK democracy works. There are so many people who don't even know the difference between direct democracy and indirect democracy.
that's interesting in the US bills always start in committee. A bill usually doesnt go to the floor until its been passed by the appropriate committee. Often these committees have sub committees too where proposals usually originate. In the House only when a bill passes committee can it be put on the floor but first it goes to the rules committee to debate further but most of this debate is on rules for debate about the bill. Then the bill gets put to the floor and can be amended or changed.
I’d like to see a video on bills
More please on public and private and how the UK deals with EU Law in national law please
Please do videos about how laws are made in the EU; the functions of organisations that start "European" (such as ECHR) ; and their relationships.
Royal ASSENT, not "ascent".
Axen't
What happens if the Queen vetos a bill and is it possible for a bill to die in the UK Parliament?
Make video about bill types!
Im Canadian and I have to say WELL DONE
Who decides and when is it decided which amendements are included?
Our citizenship class really enjoyed this video :-)
Can you do a Swiss Style Brexit Deal Explained?
Does the procedure for Bills to become Acts of parliament always start with The H.O.C ? Can the HOC refuse to accept a Bill passed from the H.O.L ( if it started there)
You know who my favorite member of the house of lords is? Lord Garmadon.
I think lord megatron is more powerful
The onslaught of anxiety and unfurfilnent, for consumerism
Would love more info on the different bills, also I wasn't clear if laws are only started by the house of Commons and if so what checks does the house of Commons have over the ahouse of Lords, is it through readings and ping-ponging? I also understand that a motion cannot be dismissed by the Speaker of the House of Commons, has this happened before? When is the most recent occurrence?
Okay I'm aware of Public Bills and PMBs but not Private Bills. Hybrid Bills seem self-explanatory but if you're explaining the other 3 then may as well do that one anyway.
are public bills introduced by the public or MPs? Why do we have a private member bill when all MPs work for the people? wouldn’t this private bill have private interests and not the public?
at what stage do the public have power to vote against the bill?
Next video -> types of bills pls :DD
Can the king / queen to NOT sign the bill & return back to houses request change(s)?
Can you explain why there is still an institute like the House of Lords in a modern democracy?
Because adding 'democracy' doesn't make everything better. The HoL is partly made up of experts in science, philosophy, and economics among other fields. They have very little power, they are there to ensure that everyone knows what the informed people think before the Government passes some law with drastic unintended consequences.
Could you explain how house of commons looked before it's bombing
And the media don't even get me started
I haven't even heard a policy in 8 years! Stop me if I'm wrong?
Brilliant video, good job of explaining an otherwise 'dull' topic, but there goes my hopes and dreams of kicking into action a rewrite of the free-speech (or lack of..) laws in the UK ⚰️
5:26 YESSSSSSSSSS
Why the House of Lords isn't abolished?
Fernando Monfort It’s a mix of both democracy and monarchy.
does anyone know a channel like this but for germany?
not particularly, I'm in search of one like this for the USA.
Three Arrows is a German man with a soothing voice who makes political videos about the whole world, including a good bit about Germany, but it's mostly about the rising tide of extremism and the myths they use to spread their ideology.
We really need to replace the House of Lords with an elected upper house that has proportional representation. That would be much more democratic
James Royce-Dawson when we re-apply for Eu membership in a few years that’s going to be a requirement. Along with taking on shengan and the euro.
And who would have the final say over legislation? The HoC or the replaced HoL? Why should one have precedence over the other, both being democratically elected...?
But they will lose their £300 a day salary
@@CatholicSatan Because the PM will be elected from the Commons, the Commons will always hold more power, as is the case in Australia where this is the exact situation
I wholly disagree with abolishing the House of Lords entirely and replacing it with a secondary elected chamber. I could talk for ages about this but:
1) You'd lose *a lot* of expertise. Yes, many peers are just vote fodder, but also hundreds of them are vital for the lawmaking in this country. They are scientists, academics, writers, etc etc. An elected house would lose all of them in the long and the short term.
2) With bicameral legislatures, you have two choices. Here, you'd choose between making both houses equally primary and making one primary over the other. In the first case you'd get stuck like the USA, where very few laws get passed. In the second, you'd end up with a 'UK Senate' which is more democratically elected than the HoC, and as such has a greater mandate (morally) to govern...
3) The HoL is probably the least powerful 2nd chamber in the world. It can advise, and amend, but it cannot veto and it cannot even temporarily block money bills. Further, all its amendments can be ignored if the HoC wishes. Why would anyone want to be elected to this ineffective house?
The Lords need reform not abolition. Remove party appointments, and abolish party allegiance in the Lords. I haven't an entire manifesto, but it is the best option.
WHAT!?! MPs actually talk to the voters!?! Here in the US, Congressman and Senators just talk to lobbyists, and there are times where they don’t even read the bill.
Please cover the other stuff
whenever I do anything, I say right beforehand, "just try to stop me, Brussels"
Yeah I get it.....
Sometimes,criminally.
Royal assent, not ascent at 4:57
What if the Queen has to sign a law that goes against her being "protector of the faith" ?
Just wondering, because in Belgium king Baldwin refused to sign an abortion law. (as usual, Belgium got around it by using technicalities and backdoorpolitics)
I’d like to know more as it is very informative although it was explained quickly. I’m not English so it’s hard for me to get it at once. Sorry
Types of bills!
TWIP is back! This is what I pay for
when a government member in this case almost all of them , Act against the will of the people and in effect working in favor of another government can the people get the members out of government ?
Yes, it's called general elections. Or you could try to get elected yourself.
Please cover the bills, thank you !!!!1
Trust I can go on for hours!!!
Salisbury convention
A police for that is basically a damn social media influencer
Can you make a video on why do you need a house of lords? As it's seems to be just another steping stone that delays any legislation...
Arts, music, drama
Wonderful video, but it’s *Amendments and *Assent. :-)
EU regulations apply automatically, so in essence the above is only half the picture. EU regulations override any contrary UK parliamentary acts
Yes and no. EU regulations apply to legislation for which UK has granted authority through the Lisbon treaty, so not everything is decided in EU (housing, healthcare, infrastructure, etc.). Typically EU legislation is related to issues that impact the customs union and single market (ensuring level playing field, etc , such as environmental, workers rights and safety). Before EU regulation is decided upon UK reps both in the ministers council and in EU parliament have a vote on the legislation and UK minister can veto (example: NL vetoed the proposed relationship with Ukraine). However, it is true that EU legislation that has been approved by council and parliament, has precedence over any UK legislation when these conflict. Such a conflict must be addressed to the ECJ for resolution.
Yeah but the UK agreed to them.
Please don't delete these, I'll make 3 solutions for all 10 points good and bad, and tactics to impliment
Where therapy and communication?
Yes the bills please
Can the british parliament propose laws on their own without the government?
that's easy to answer.Laws aren't made in parliament...acts and statutes are
Then social media based peer pressure policing!!! WTF!!!!
We need a 1 million march
The total lack of proper health services, psyicial and mental
Can the P. M. pass a veto law, if necessary??
Or
Can H.M. the Queen Elizabeth II pass a veto law, if necessary??
they don't
Morages for small business, right to buy council homes,
And what about ptsd! I lived with a ex solder (dad) you absolute used and abused him with no help to adjust back into civilian life
Basically.... Having the House of Lords is a waste of time?
Now the King...if he lives.
Who wants it politicians?
2:38 2:39 2:40
Multiple spelling mistakes in the video text.
You've spelt assent wrongly
0 hour contracts, food banks, oaps and disability
Royal asSent, now royal asCent.
3:00 Are you colourblind ? The "green bill" picture is blue and the "white bill" is grey... Why is that the case if this isn't a mistake ?
I think the idea of an unelected chamber filled with experts is a brilliant idea. I honestly cannot understand why people would wish to abolish this nature of the House of Lords. Firstly, democracy is not a perfect system. It relies on well-informed voters voting for the common good. Failing this, people are often reduced to populism and this creates a tyranny of the majority. Having an unelected house serves as a form of check on populism by ensuring that the voices of people other than the majority are heard well. It being staffed by experts is a big plus since many of these experts wouldn’t go through the hassle otherwise of campaigning and being elected since politics is admittedly a full-time job. Second, I can’t understand the objections of people saying it’s undemocratic. It could have been an issue before when the House of Lords had at least equal power to the House of Commons but with the House of Lords having only powers to amend and no power to indefinitely block legislation from Commons, it seems to me that the objection has little merit since the democratically elected Commons has the power to push legislation through the unelected Lords.
