Look on page 22(right at the bottom), the photos I shared show the limitations of the functions... You just need to know the functions ImageUploadedByStudent Room1465331105.971224.jpg

source about final veto? AFAIK LC can only veto first recommendation, no powers whatsoever to veto second

and with supreme court justices afaik he has no power at all in the process


I directly quoted my Edexcel textbook. And I'm not sure what "afaik" means, sorry

Never mind, as I clicked submit I realised that "afaik" meant "as far as I know". I might be the stupidest person in the land.

Okay so.... So far I have only revised Constitution. I also looked at devolution and EU in case they come up within questions. I still have to do PM and Cabinet, Judiciary and Parliament in effectively 1 and a half days (YELLS)

Abortion act - it actually passed I can't remember much about it but you can look it up
Also the live music act
There are not any recent ones really as barely any actually get passed

For the question ' Parliament carries out none of its functions adequately' - what criticism would you write for the function of legislating?
