No more Lords!

I can’t believe that in 2010 half of our Parliament is still full of appointed cronies and wealthy donors, a band of aristocrats, and 26 Bishops. Every one of them unelected and unaccountable.

This must change. I’ve just signed a letter to the Party Leaders calling for an elected Lords – and demanding that from today they appoint NO MORE LORDS.

If you think there should be no more Lords – then you should sign it too:

Together we’ll make them listen.

I'm a big fan of the first past the post system, but also of PR. I think that having the Commons elected by First Past The Post is fair - it's about local MPs - but that the upper chamber should be PR - that's the national will of the country.
