Well! HOL reform, indicative vote!

Post by Bill Sikes »

Well, MPs have voted for an elected House of Lords, rather than a wholly or partly

appointed one.

"Many MPs fear that a fully, or even predominantly elected Lords will challenge the

supremacy of the elected House of Commons, leading to clashes and deadlock."

*Isn't that what the House of Lords is actually FOR, to an extent?*



It seems to me that, should this become law, that little change will have been

made - previously, people were simply members by "accident of birth".
