The House of Lords in the UK parliament cannot stop a 'bill' or an Act of Parliament from becoming law. It can delay it, make recommendations and ask for it to be reconsidered but it cannot veto it.

Who elects the members of the house of lords?
The house of lords is being reformed with a house of lords reform bill, look the bill up the internet will tell you about the bill. Hopefully when the lords chamber is reformed bishops will no longer be allowed in the house of lords and that the chamber will become a senate. If we don't have a senate then we need to protest for one, we also need the UK to become a republic for this to work so that is the final thing we need to protest about.

Advantage of British unwritten Constitution?
It depends which way you look at it: an unwritten constitution means more manoeuvrability when it comes to law changing or simply instigating constitutional changes. For example, during the early 1900s the British House of Lords had the ability to veto any Bill presented by the House of Commons it wanted, as long as it had a majority decision. The exception of this was if a Bill was finacially related (under a Unwritten Constitution), which in most cases suited the Lords fine. However, in 1913 a financial Bill was presented which, to cut a long story short, would result in the loss of the Lords' money and power. Because there was no strct constitution, the Lords simply ignored previous tradition and vetoed the Bill. In this way, the British unwritten Constitution is an advantage to one party, but a disadvantage to another. (The Bill was passed inevitably, when the house of commons sent through a law stating that the lords could no longer veto any bills at all, they got the support from the king and therefore the lords lost their power except they could now suspend bills but couldn't stop them.)
