[Politics] Goodbye House of Lords!

[GT49er]

Abolishing the House of Lords is no big worry, although apart from the excessive numbers created (far more than can actually sit in the house, which is ridiculous) the institution on the whole doesn't do a bad job.
The problem comes with what replaces it. 'Be careful what you wish for' comes to mind.

Any controversial policy is a potential vote loser and this one has no effect on the average person's life. Do they want to just win the election or change the country for the better? If the former they need to put this policy on the back burner, if the latter they need to stick their neck out and do something that is gaining traction in the country and has a real benefit for most.

I think they want to make sure they win the election and THEN change the country for the better. Labour might have a big lead in polls, but one wrong move when it comes to having *anything* to do with Europe would have a negative impact faster than a Graham Potter departure to Chelsea...

Best not trigger the gammons till after Labour have won the election.

Or, what HWT said

if they're up for abolishing medieval, elitist institutions then there's something else I can think of...

The FA, FIFA and UEFA

Should be a big vote winner. This country is fed up of unelected people telling us what to do.

It's a very expensive rest home which is no longer needed. Most seem to be asleep anyway

Precisely.

The last thing we need now is two years of the conservative so-called government doing nothing more than criticizing Labour's plans. The wankers.

Should be a big vote winner. This country is fed up of unelected people telling us what to do.

And just as fed up of elected people telling us what to do, without thinking anything through

The upper chamber needs desperate reform.

Be brave Kier, be radical

Should be a big vote winner. This country is fed up of unelected people telling us what to do.
