'The Labour Party manifesto calls for a 100% elected House of Lords. However, the Labour Party also believes that before making such a huge change, there should be a referendum – only if the country votes through a referendum for Lords Reform should it go ahead.'

Graham Jones MP: Lords Reform should not go ahead just to appease the Liberal Democrats

Oh well, if those pulling the strings, say a referendum is the only answer, when there's momentous change planned, that's ok then.

I suppose a referendum would 'settle the issue democratically'.

Which Graham Jones posted on here would also be the case, in a referendum on E.U. membership.

Two short weeks prior to voting against us having that democratic right.

After all, the European Union has momentously changed, from when we voted in a referendum to join an economic trade alliance called the Common Market.
