Except it's massively different. If you are suggesting a bi-cameral parliament, in the way it works in the US, then I'd be tempted to agree with you, it does work, but has some flaws. If the second house were to be elected we cannot keep its position how it is now, as Gayle says and as I tried to say earlier, it would be utterly pointless to have an elected upper house to scrutinise the lower house when it is composed of party majorities like the commons.
