Cheers, I would like a Proportional Representation system but I do not think it would work. A small party would hold a balance of powerO

One idea i liked was keep the current system and every general election the Lords seats are decided by Proportional Representation, I.E If labour get 54% of the vote, they choose 54% of the lords and so on.

Under that system the lord would be a lot harder for labour under the current election results as they would have less power in the lords. This way the winning party can have a majority and get policys though but the lords will ensure that if it was a small win it will be harder.

Anyway this is off-topic....
