Once again, you totally ignore the facts that are inconvenient to your political point of view. Yes, it is ridiculous that people should be able to block law because of who their ancestors were. It is equally ridiculous that people should be able to block law because they sucked up to Tony Blair. He promised to reform the Lords by like so much he promised, it proved to be no more than words...but you don't want to talk about that, becuase you might have to criticize your beloved Labour government.
And while we're at, could you, as a believer in socialist democracy, explain exactly why Mandelson is in such a powerful position in this government, despite having no mandate from the British people...or is that something else you want to conveniently ignore?
