Re: Abolish House of Lords.

Antiquated, irrelevant and nonsensical..like archery practice on sundays, pubs providing hay for horses and video recorders.

But....to demolish it would take a mass of legislation, and...that would need to be passed by judges, and the ensuing appeals would eventually lead to the supreme court, ruled by one or more of the 22 judges currently sitting in the house of lords...hate to belabour a point...but turkeys do not vote for christmas.....and I would not like to guess how much the attempt would cost the average taxpayer.

Only way to change our system is by insurrection, nuclear holocaust or alien invasion...ain't gonna happen unfortunately
