On that alone they should be scrapped.But let’s not oversell the benefits of just having parliament. How dare you!But this is an outrageous suggestion, it would mean abolishing Claire Fox. We, the British electorate cannot vote her either in or out of the HOL as we have no democratic input. I am sure there must be charities that support those that lost loved ones or who were injured during the ‘Troubles’ which she may wish to consider.This is a serious discussion about the grave matter of electoral reform, personal innuendos and attacks really have no place.

Once elected an MP can immediately go back on his word, or “vote his conscience”, and the electorate can do nothing to change that.

These include former Labour MPs along with my old friend Claire Fox, who, as many outraged media and social-media commentators have reminded us, was the co-publisher of As controversy rages over membership of the Lords, let’s get back to democratic basics. Please try again. If her position has changed please do point me to a credible source of relevant information and I will mention it no further.With regard to the subject at hand I favour the abolition of the House of Lords and its replacement with an entirely elected parliament. I must think on’t. We couldn't log you in. That is democracy. This looks like possible spam activity. Time for drastic anarchy and the culling of two expensive and pointless cancers.It is up to the populist, wealthy right to abolish or reform the Lords, clearly.If us lefties suggest anything millions of words are written saying how much we despise all the proud traditions that make Britain the greatest democracy in human history.Once Boris Johnson or another Etonian genius with bags of money supports the abolishment of something then we can all back it/him – and any objectors can be denounced as out of touch liberal elites, marxists etc etc.No one’s going to vote for a left wing working class man who angrily dismisses the lords, the armed services, religion or the bedroom tax.Formerly influential figures, who may know too much, can be silenced and persuaded from tipping the apple cart, and damaging their former cronies -and the establishment – by being giving a lucrative peerage by which they can collect £300 a day, or whatever figure it is now, for doing next to nothing, apart from sleeping.

(It is another sign of the degraded state of British democracy that the merits of unicameralism have never been seriously debated; one senior member of a political party I discussed it with last year had never even heard of the word. Are we Brits so much more infantile than the citizens of those countries that we need to be nannied by lords and ladies? A Crawl Through 'The World's End' Two critics dissect the latest geek farce from actor-writers Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead). 23050. Disgusting!Surely there’s a difference. I have no problem with her standing for elected office whether or not I agree with her views or not. I am currently agnostic as to whether I favour a unicameral or bicameral system.

Instead the Lords is now stacked with life peers, mostly former and failed politicians nominated by political parties through a system that reeks of patronage and corruption.

I will agree that the lords is basically a useless waste of public money – They can only annoy the government anyway, and they cost the earth.

This kind of approach is directly, though not entirely, responsible for ‘cancel culture’ and wokeism.There is much that is wrong with the House of Lords but existing is’nt one of them. One of those characters in the first alternate universe was Jonas’ mom Hannah Kahnwald. But it works in other European countries.It is an anachronism, a bastion of ‘the establishment’. You don’t get a say.Proportional representation and coalitions governments could provide the necessary checks and balances in a unicameral system. That is why, through history, democratic revolutionary upsurges in England, America or France tended not to entertain an upper house to lord it over the demos. Often forgotten, is the right of certain bishops of the Church of England to sit in the Lords, an absurdity that is beyond belief.You are entirely right, but the useful thing about the HoL is that it enables genuine experts to have a say. "The World's End" is comedy gold.

All rights reserved. I’m sure she won’t want to be accused of having her ‘snout in the trough’. Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has just made an official complaint to the Westminster authorities – over their rejection of his nominees for the House of Lords. For centuries it was home to Britain’s hereditary peers, aristocrats who inherited their wealth and power and wielded the Lords as a weapon to defend both.

It should be abolished and replaced by a unicameral system, whereby parliament has only one, elected house to carry out the popular will, with no lords and ladies to tell the plebs downstairs to behave themselves. In 2018, during the battle for Brexit, left-wing house journal the Those who recoil in horror from the very idea of unicameralism, of having only one elected house of parliament, might note that it seems good enough for various other nation states, ranging from Sweden, Denmark or New Zealand to Hungary or Greece.
