I wouldn't like to be seen near half the Royals let alone be represented by them.

But I prefer the idea to the likely hung parliament so i support your proposition!


I'm not talking about 'the Royals' I'm talking about the Monarch.

They're not there to represent you, they're there to protect your rights as an Englishman.

I don't want a hung parliament, I want a hanged parliament.

Can we keep Lord Pearson at least? He's too hilarious to lose, and he's more than posh enough to be royalty.

Can we still chop off the monarch's head if they fail?

Of course, Her Majesty still needs jesters.

no, infact I think we should do away with the monarchy alltogether.

Oh the monarchy is a fantastic tradition though, plus Elizabeth has been pretty much the perfect constitutional monarch, regal but not meddling.

 

Your upper house does need reform though, too much power too little reponsibility to the people.

meh, I find them annoying and useless, this is a democracy, they arent needed.

the Lords needs to be replaced with an elected second chamber imo.

Only problem is that electing an upper chamber would challenge the primacy of the house of commons. If they are both elected with their own mandates then the upper house would have a right to block laws in the lower house, essentially it would revoke the unwritten Salisbury Convention.

Plus, why elect two houses?
