Learn something new : How Parliament works .

Parliament . That big scary word that pretty much dictates your life. So i thought for the day after working my my youth council for so long i decided to explain to you lovelies how parliament works because whats better than a pretty lady is a smart lady ;)

Parliament debate laws. Each year our Queen opens parliament with a speech in which she sets out the laws that parliament want to pass. It is important to note that until it has been agreed on my both the House of Commons and the House of Lords , these draft laws are then called Bills. This Bill then becomes Law. The bill is again debated by the House of Commons first and the House of Lords just to make sure that this is the correct law to pass. Eventually the Bill turns into a law when everything is agreed upon and the Queen gives it to the Royal Assent. The law is now out there in the world and it is the responsibility of the civil service to make sure that these new laws are carried out. 

So there you go that's how law is created. Enjoy being more knowledgeable that you were before :)
