Intro: Define Democratic Deficit... then lay out your main points giving an indication to your conclusion
I would then go for 4 main over riding points
Mine would be
1. House of Lords
2. The voting system - FPTP (lib dems AV referendum it failed)
3. Parliaments ability to scrutinise itself un-codified constitution
4. The EU
5. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland don't have full independences
Assess each of these looking for an an argument of how much that contributes to a democratic deficit and then a point against that, before saying if it does create one.
Conclude overall
While we're here, should there be a mention of why we don't have a democratic deficit or is this just looking at the arguments that there is one...

Is the UK a democratic nation?
To what extent is there a democratic deficit in the UK? To a very large extent it can be seen that there is a demhocratic deficit in the United Kingdom. In the last few years there has been no shortage of ideas for making Britain a more democratic place.The factors which seem to explain the reasons for the growing degradation of democracy are,may be considered, few but they all do make a difference.Absence of accountability of power underlies every single issue where the parties and the public disapproves of government policy but cannot change it. The transfer of powers away from local communities to central government. Both coalition partners and the Labour party proclaims their allegiance to"localisoverm",but in their cases it is different. Any localism worth the name has to be the right and the property of the local government,not the centre.Therefore modern local U.K elections underline the fact that it is time to create a genuine democratic local government.Transfer of powers away from central government to the European Union.It surely has an array of democratic deficits.Most importantly,U.K hovers between "intergovernmentalism" and "supernationalism" making lines of accountability even more problematic than they are inside national governments.The adoption of the free market economy and the transfer of powers to the IMF and WTO also made things very much complicated.Choice and the growth of "consumerism" as driven by,the demands of the"free market economy" which is the supremacy of market norms and extreme individualism.Therefore i conclude that these are few factors that led to the degradation of democracy in the United Kingdom.
