Changed my mind again. I think I was right the first time.
Who is in chanrge of the Lords? Is it not the party that is in power? Or have I got that wrong?

soontobe Peers are not elected. Your vote is irrelevant to them.

The people at the top need a voters' rocket put under them.
That is why I am still seriously thinking of voting UKIP. I dont even like UKIP much, but I cant see any other way to send a shock wave to Westminster.
And they can get the shockwave within 6 months.

Something needs to be done. And fast.

Noticed this in the Mirror the other day. Found it hard to believe:

"A Tory peer who slammed poor people for using food banks is on the House of Lords committee that spent £250,000 on champagne since David Cameron has been in office. Baroness Jenkin has apologised after blaming a dramatic increase in demand for emergency food assistance on a lack of cookery skills. Yesterday we told how pampered peers at the House of Lords refused to cut their catering budget after buying more than 17,000 bottles of bubbly costing £260,000."
