I personally don't think the Lords have enough power. They should be largely or wholly elected body with nigh-on equal amounts of power to the Commons.

The Commons has, over the centuries, slowly been eroding the powers of all the checks and balances that surround it. We're essentially living in a unicameral system, yet we pay for a bicameral one.

The Commons is too powerful and it needs to be reduced.



how would you structure that and what sort of powers would you give the HoL?
