Yep great Idea. While you are at it abolish the whole sorry sheet show and replace with an elected chamber.

The Conservatives have called this move as a vendetta and political vandalism. I call it a bloody good decision , And hope this is the beginning of the end of the HOL. ..........Well done Labour......

gulliver: "The Conservatives have called this move as a vendetta and political vandalism." - not all of us, I have been saying for years the HOL should be abolished and replaced with an elected upper chamber. Getting rid of the hereditary mob is a good start. Lets rejoice that there is something we can agree on!

No HoC discussion ?

The whole of the 2nd chamber needs to be elected by the people, otherwise it ain't (even pseudo) democracy.

Just think what Labour could do with all the money saved if they completely abolished the HOL .And nationalised public services . They could give the real workers and taxpayers a decent living wage and look after the poor and needy.Then ex tory tax evaders like Nadhim Zahawi would no longer have to complain to the Mayor of London about having to walk past homeless people sleeping rough on the pavements of Mayfair .

Sounds like they still want it to be ruled by those with patronage. That may be a cue for another referendum; but only if sensible options get on the form.
