I would tend to agree, not on what you’re bleating about, as you’re just bleating.
But on the second chamber and how it is appointed.
I don’t the Lords, I understand the argument on how it isn’t beholden to the electorate and therefore has some immunity to the ebb and flow of public opinion and can therefore carry out it’s checks and balances with impunity.
But I dislike how it is basically a retirement and pension plan for already well heeled MPs and business men.
I think you should be called to do it, for 1 term, like jury duty. not all of them but a large proportion, I know that would impact people working, but it’s not a full time job, you could do a few days a month. Some Lords never ever darken the chamber.
