Whilst they are important, unlike the House of Commons the Lords are unelected, which impedes on democracy. In this essay I will discuss the how they are a blight on democracy as the Peers are unelected and the House of Lords…

large role in “A Doll House”, and is the main factor in many characters decisions.
