[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1034151, member: 72205"] Yeah but it doesn't really work and only has a small group of dedicated individuals doing the actual work. Also either way currently doesn't work in terms of appointments life peerages are clearly a joke but political appointee are also a major issue see one I T Botham. Actually I think the US Senate is good place to start combined with our existed system. 1/3 of Lords up every 15 years (no on can serve more than once) elected by nominations lists of political parties decided by PR. You then keep the current Commons override but fix it slighly by allowing a supermajority of the Lords to defeat the Commons in the rare case of genuinely awful legislation. Something along these lines is what come up in ever consoltation but we we have the perennial problem I see no real need for ceremonial president or monarch in terms of defender of the constitution. But then I by far and a way not a constitutional scholar and don't know why they are required. [/QUOTE]
