    so you’re abolishing the absurdly antidemocratic joke of the house of lords?
    oh. oh you’re keeping the life peers, arent you? the ones that got their seat by open blatant corruption? those?

    joke of a country.

    edit: to make it clear, they’ve got 804 cancerous shitbags sitting in the lords. of that, 24 are some kind of religious leaders. 670 are life peers.

    so they’re thinking of kicking out 110 people. 13% of these thieves. just 13%.

    WHAT ABOUT THE REST
