Let’s Rethink The Lords: Logic of the Lords. In the last post we landed somewhere fairly modest. The House of Lords isn’t there to run the country, it isn’t there to block democracy, and it isn’t just a retirement home. It reviews legislation, asks awkward questions, and sometimes makes the government pause and rethink. That naturally leads to the next question. Why do we have it at all?

The Lords didn’t start as a quirky side-room of Parliament.
It started as power — and slowly turned into restraint.
That shift explains a lot of today’s confusion.

Why can't we elect a Head of State & reserve the right to remove them when the turn out to be a corrupt paedophile, lying wank stain or bloviating self serving straw headed fucking ghoul. #UKRepublic #NoKings #RoyalPrivilege #UKConstitution #PR #UKPolitics #VoteGreen #ClimateAction #PurgePalantir

I could never vote #reform or #conservative but now I can't vote @labouruk.bsky.social so now I need to work out whether the @greenparty.org.uk or the @libdems.org.uk are most likely to oust #Labour.

What's our fastest route to #ElectoralReform & #ProportionalRepresentation? #UKConstitution
