On Alternatives to the House of Lords
Jun. 18th, 2013 03:39 pmSome chat over at the Andrew Ducker coffee house on Lords’ Reform prompted by a suggestion from the ERS that the number of Peers in the House of Lords could reach 2,000 after the next election if Peers are appointed to make the House of Lords proportionate to the 2015 election result.
Personally I quite like the proposed reforms that were parked earlier this Parliament for a 300 seat revising chamber elected using STV for 15 year terms. They are not the worst proposals I’ve seen and they are certainly better, in my view, than the current arrangements.
We’re certainly very unlikely to get either of my alternatives. But for the record, here they are.
