Re: Lordy Lordy
The Lords is a long story, but I think we need to keep it. It is a good scrutiny body, which we need. Having an elected upper house would make it rather pointless unless we move in the American direction. The thing about the Lords is they can do and say things without needing to think about re-election, which makes it particularly good at scrutiny despite having no real powers.
Obviously these people who abuse the system should be dealt with, as they make the ones who are hard working look bad. Same with MP's.
