Abolish The House Of Lords?
Or reduce them?
These people are unelected and sit sleeping in lovely upholstered leather chairs, have a ‘ smoking’ room, have the best of the best meals and the best ales and spirits all subsidised from the tax payer.....

Halve their money or better still do away with it altogether. Then see how many are willing to turn up for the sessions.

Indeed not, but 'being royal' isn't really a thing is it?
Just something that was won through intrigue, cheating and slaughter in centuries past that we've been coditioned to accept as somehow right.
If somebody tried to start such a scheme from scratch today they'd be denounced as money-grabbing charlatans and quite rightly too.
In my humble opinion. :-)

We need a second chamber, just not this second chamber.
My opinion: the House of Lords should be smaller, fixed size and populated by PR. I would use the same election as the Commons, but apply the results using PR; this would to some extent work against tactical voting. The Parliament Act should then be toughened up to take account of a more legitimate Lords.
