‘Feudalistic farce’ as ex-PMs’ great-grandchildren fight for hereditary seat in Lords

  1. I like the idea of two levels of government, it prevents runaway governments.

    Not a fan of unelected, life time people without any actual experience or knowledge

    Maybe we need to have a second election for the house of lords, or have them represent the councils of the UK. So if you’re council is labour you can get a labour representative in the house, might allow smaller parties to get a voice in government

  2. I wouldn’t mind hereditary seats if they were treated like the monarchy. No votes, just sign things.

    Quirk of tradition with bare minimum impact.

  3. I want an upper chamber but maybe one per county.

    Perhaps limit it to MP’s who have served a number of years.

    Either that or a council of experts across sciences, business and trade unions.

    Anything is better than what we have now

  4. I am related to olaf the black.
    ..back in the viking days….he was a king ..I demand my destiny as a great great gt gt gt gt ect ect grandson …it is my right ….see….see where this is going 😆 na…oh well back to bouncing on the doors then

  5. Probably had zero interest and experience with politics and suddenly their heritage suddenly became relevant?.

    Nepotism: no wonder the government here is a dirty mess.
