The BBC is reporting that a cross-party group of peers is proposing to slash the number of peers in the Lords by 400 as part of a package of reform. How about abolishing the lot?
We have the cheek to lecture the world on democracy, we invade Iraq to free the people & introduce democracy (plus get some oil!), we attack Putin for election fixing in Russia, while all along no one mentions the elephant in the room - the unelected House of Lords.
Having it full of inbred hereditary peers who got their titles after their ancestors were the mistresses of Kings was bad enough. But after Labour's half-arsed reforms, it is now stuffed with Tony & Dave's cronies! A banana republic would be ashamed! This is the upper chamber. The revising & reviewing chamber of parliament. But it is full of unelected cronies!!!!
A fully elected Lords is the only justifiable solution to the dogs dinner that Blair made of constitutional reform.
