The debate as to whether the House of Lords should be reformed or not has started again. I have said it again and will repeat it now that there is no room for inequality within a modern democratic society.
Britain is proud of its democratic traditions and there are some good reasons for that but to continue to accept an out of date institution which symbolises the inequality within the system is unacceptable. If you want to have an upper chamber then of course there are other very good models that can be used to modify and introduce. Calling some delirious banana a Lord or a Lady is completely out of date. Time to completely remove all hereditary peers and replace them with elected upper house reps who want to do it because they wish to see change so put them on a low salary to ensure that they are not doing it for the money. They should all be elected every 5 bloody years !
