Re: House of Loads

I've just read that article in the paper.
Is Cameron quite mad?????
Who would ever vote for him in the next election????
He's really lost it.

He's making himself and his nasty party an absolute laughing stock.

Making Corbyn look like the Messiah by contrast!

Re: House of Loads

Well it's almost like he thinks we can't see what he is doing. I have always supported the HoL but it needs drastically decreasing in numbers, the same job could be done by 150-200 members as is being done by this vast number.

Re: House of Loads

I will apologise for being a bit dim , but please tell me why these people have been allowed a position in the house of Lords , and WHY . Don't read newspapers and have missed the news for a while .

An explanation would help me while I read these posts .

Thankyou

Re: House of Loads

I agree it's cronyism but wasn't it ever thus with every party since "reform"started in 1997?

Whilst I completely agree that the whole shambolic system that is the HoL needs to be diminished by at least 80% and a complete overhaul of it's powers is long overdue, Cameron's immediate problem is that the Lords is stuffed full of people seeking revenge against the tories because they won the election. These are now in the majority in the Lords thanks to the cronyism of previous governments, and are preventing most of the legislation promised in the conservative manifesto for no reason other than sour grapes.

The overiding paradox though, is that reform of the Lords is impossible without the agreement of the Lords, and that would be as likely to happen as turkeys voting for Christmas. Where is Guy Fawkes when you most need him.....
