Explain how the House of Commons can help to strengthen democracy in the uk (6 marks)

The Commons can be argued to be more powerful than the Lords because: ... MPs are more independently-minded than in the past, so are less likely to toe the party line- this makes the Commons more assertive against the government. Commons is democratically legitimate- they have more of a right to challenge government

- "it was a failure that was an embarrassment for the kennedy administration."
