[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1109093, member: 56232"] If he does it simply must be a proportional representation body and not a duplicate of the Commons. Also a lot of the rules about the relationship between the 2 houses would need revising. The Commons is able to override the Lords because of the claim of a mandate due to being the elected body. If the lords replacement is elected, that argument ceases to make any sense, as does any argument arguing for supremacy of the Commons. In terms of overall vote count, the UK has voted for left wing parties over right wing for the last 2 decades. That does not translate to the seats. With a PR 2nd chamber, hopefully it would put a blocker on the trend of batshit idiotic right wing ideologues pushing through stupid, knee jerk and illegal laws forcing the Tories to come back to a more rational position, ditching the populists and crazies like Johnson and Truss.
