In turn, HoC acts are split into government bills or private members' bills (and probably other categories). It is all very complicated. <br /><br />In BRD it's a lot clearer but still not completely black and white.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-81748253088886228182012-11-30T16:43:16.313+00:002012-11-30T16:43:16.313+00:00XX Ich könnte genau so gut sagen dass es schwachsi...XX Ich könnte genau so gut sagen dass es schwachsinnig ist das House of Commons als "Lower House" zu bezeichnen, obwhold es im grossen und ganzen auch die höchste Instanz ist.
