No, the executive does not dominate the House of Lords in British politics. In the parliamentary system of the United Kingdom, a system in which the prime minister is the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons, a member of the House of Commons, and must answer to the House of Commons, many consider the prime minister to be the head of the legislature and consider Great Britain to have no true executive. However, if one considers the prime minister to be the executive, he is the leader of the House of Commons; he or she is not the leader of the House of Lords as well. Instead, the person who controls the House of Lords holds the position of the Office of the Leader of the House of Lords. This is a ministerial department held by a member of the cabinet. The Cabinet of the United Kingdom is composed of approximately 22 members selected by the prime minister from the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The primary duty of the Leader of the House of Lords is to help maintain order in that house. Because the power of the House of Lords is limited in the parliamentary system of Great Britain, this house primarily revises bills from the House of Commons that lack sufficient detail as well as hears bills that lack any controversy surrounding them. Thus, one can argue that the House of Lords is dominated by the House of Commons.
