It's quite scary that the House of lords (unelected peers), previously seen as undemocratic may be the only thing stopping the commons from rushing through legislation as they don't have to pander to public option. Which I guess was always their purpose

Most democracies place buffers between the will of the masses and the levers of power. For very good reasons too.

In UK there is the house of lords and the indirect election of the prime minister.
