david cameron is the prime minister and he has proposed all these cuts. we automatically get these cuts? >> pretty automatically. a mistake a lot of british people who follow british politics make is to think that they are broadly comparable in the american system. your president is like our prime minister in that you have two houses of your parliament and we have to of hours. our prime minister has much more power than your president. he has complete power over the lower house, the house of commons. the house of commons has very limited powers. has no power over anything that costs money or raises money. has no power in the revenue department. it can keep sending bills back that it does not like until a year has passed, and then the parliament act can be invoked and the thing goes through anyway. our house of lords is not democratically elected. it is appointed. there are plans to reform that, but no one knows of it will come about or not. it has no real democratic legitimacy. has expertise. it has not been set up to be in opposition to the house of comm
