Best Answer

The UK House of Lords has an imbuilt Conservative party majority. This was a big problem for Liberal and Labour governments and to tackle this there are two pieces of law called the parliament acts which mean that if the House of Lords keep rejecting legislation passed by the commons, the parlaiment act can be enacted and the law can be passed without being passed by the Lords. Governments don't use the parliament act very much, just on laws they feel very very strongly about.
