Oh wait, it's because they're doing such a great job isn't it?

Blair wanted to get rid of them quite early on....

I know, back when he had an pretty unstoppable majority in the commons.
If he had replaced the Lords with one in line with his policies, then many poorly thought out pieces of legislation would have made it onto the statute books (fancy pint glasses made out of glass which can shatter if you sneeze at them and slice up the person holding it once they've been washed?)

If you did some research you would find its because he wanted to sell peerage which is was his main motivation for changing it all, he is under police investigation for this.

The house of lords have blocked and ammended numerous controversiall bills and certianly without them things would be much worse in my opinion.
