Jeez, you're not a big fan of facts, are you?

House of Lords (since Labour "reformed" it to only leave 92 life peers (I think they should have got rid of them all)).

Peers
Labour 211
Tories 188
Lib Dems 72
UKIP 2
Crossbenchers 182
Lords Spiritual 25
Others 24
Total = 704


So out of a total of 704 Peers, the Conservatives have 188 - must be a new definition of "majority" I haven't come across before.
