The democratically elected chamber where laws are debated and governments are held to account. Its reputation rises and falls with its occupants.

Often criticised for being unelected, yet praised by some for expertise and scrutiny of rushed legislation.

Established in 2009, it has ruled on major constitutional questions including prorogation. A check on executive overreach.
