as if scrapping the house of lords will do much, they already had one shot at reforming it and removing various hereditary peer voting rights etc.
Democratically elected means it’ll get filled with protest vote members when the current government is unpopular, possibly leading to legislation ping-pong and paralysis. I sometimes wonder if it’s better in the US to lose the presidency and hope to gain the houses when he becomes unpopular, since in some ways it seems to be where the power is
Gordon Brown is so underrated. He was in the chair when the US banking industry stopped the music back in 2007 and carried the can for it. But since then its emerged that the majority of world leaders who were in power at that time credit him with saving the global economy.
A very wise man who I would listen to any day.
Won’t happen, all our politicians are in it for themselves.
Ex-politicians always come up with good plans after they are no longer in power, why don’t they just implement sensible policies when they have the chance?
Why didn’t Brown change the UK when he was in government for 13 years?
