You might see a revolution in this country and Parliament and the House of Lords shut down followed by a the setting up of Marxist government
led by Ed Milliband and Ken Clarke. |

I'm a lifelongconservative supporter (but acknowledge the conservative are dodgy attimes - lesser of 2 evils for me) I despise the House ofLords and the unearned privilege. Genuine question ... Why has no labour Govtabolished the Lords? |
|
By:
Because although the Labour Party has done some good for this country unfortunately it has been always a party that still is part of the system and has a section of it that are still subservient to the ruling class

If you put forward an act to abolish The House of Lords it would never get through the House of Lords
 |

By:
Most MPs want to go to the Lords at the end of their career even pretend socialists like Prescott.
|

By:
the house of lords has very little power and does loads of much needed work
if it was elected you would get more problems if it were abolished the work would still need to be done in absence of a good replacement it has been allowed to continue |

By:
They should replace it with a committee chosen from members of chit chat.

I think a lot of em see it as pension entitlement, donny. 3 ton a day they can get for signing in and buggering off if they like.

sorry not convinced.
Not all Lords are worthy because they've done public "good" like Prescott or Kinnock.(and conservative equivalents) Some are just born into it, some are just appointed. And if we need a second reference on laws (why, BTW, as surely Commons can get it right) why not a panel of 12 good men and true) or qequivalent to a jury. Works for murder trials |

By:
its far from perfect
just nobody has found a decent replacement yet and you are correct saddo, i do not think they wish to give up their allowances anyway |

Blair let the lower orders in, that was a mistake.

If you can be appointed to the House of Lords it's meaningless, and embarrassing to the country.
