The UK has a monarch. That means it's a monarchy without any extra steps and thus not a republic. I didn't call the UK republic, I pointed out that having representatives does not require a republic. The House of Lords can only delay laws AFAIK and the monarch just can't decide anything. Even if they did, the House of Commons would still exist. |

Yes, the Lords may only delay bills for up to a year and the Commons has the right to reintroduce the bill in the next session and pass it without the consent of the Lords under the Parliament Acts (1911 and 1949 respectively).
