2Liberal democracy emphasises individual [blank_start]rights[blank_end] and liberties, which are protected in the UK by the [blank_start]Human Rights[blank_end] Act. However, as the UK does not have a [blank_start]codified[blank_end] constitution this legislation is unentrenched.
The powers of the government may be [blank_start]limited[blank_end] by constitutional laws and institutions.
Within the UK the government can be held to [blank_start]account[blank_end] by Parliament, however this [blank_start]accountability[blank_end] is undermined by party lines.

3[blank_start]Direct democracy[blank_end] is a system where the public make decisions themselves, rather than delegating powers to representatives. Decisions are reached on a [blank_start]majoritarian[blank_end] basis. This process of decision making is [blank_start]continuous[blank_end] and perpetual. A historic example is [blank_start]Athenian[blank_end] Democracy. A more contemporary feature is referendums, which have in recent years shaped Britain into a consultative democracy.
