House of Lords Reform - Coalition Government


Telegraph: Reports that Liberal Democrat Leader and DPM Nick Clegg got a hostile reaction from Conservatives to his plan for House of Lords reform, the article notes the following on the Conservative reaction to Clegg, " was openly barracked by Tory MPs ".

Lets Get Real:

Thank goodness for the common sense of the Conservatives MPs, the House of Lords does not need reform, the Upper House does it job well, to revise laws passed by the House of Commons. One you elect the Upper House they have as much moral right as MPs to decide laws, the idea that they would be submissive is fantasy lands, once a second house is either totally elected or a majority is then they can argue they have the same standing as the House of Commons. Thus do not fix something that is not broken, the Liberal Democrats when they gain a majority in the House of Commons can push any reform they like, but in till then SHUT UP. Harsh but tough language folks, the Liberal Democrats have had it easy for to long, they are in Government now not the usual pressure group focus, the sole issue for the Coalition should be the economy.
