==Houses within Parliament==
In British commonwealth nations, Parliament is comprised of two branches, the house of commons, for commoners(elected MPs), and the house of lords, or senate in Canada, appointed by the Prime minister. Legislatures must pass both houses, Commons, and Lords/Senate, before comming into effect. Senate/Lords has the authority to veto moves by the Commons, but needs 2/3 of the senate/commons vote.
