Spends more money on that than solving actual serious crime like pedophile rings

Yes, those things are bad

but they are but one aspect which Britain needs to rid itself from

Yeah like that aspect of the House of Lords that completely undermines the democratic process, making it the least democratic country in the whole of EU

It's just one cherry picked aspect though yep

Did i say those were cherry picked examples?

"but one"

The House of Lords barely has any power so it doesn't really undermine Democracy at all

Wrong

It is

Look at the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949 for instance

Even comedians can disprove your position

@ETBrooD Wonder what would've happened had Dank taken all his money out of the account <:smugon:512048583806025739>

The only real power in the house of Lords is that they can delay policy up to three times. The house of commons can over-rule them.

@ETBrooD really funny guy Jay Forman, he's also a massive green party supporting socialist. Little bit of a bias

Bias does not make him wrong

What power does the HOL have that the HOC cannot overrule?

I'm already in the process of rewatching the videos so maybe I can answer that in a few minutes

That and they're getting depowered even further, hereditary peers have been further cut down and may soon be abolished altogether.

Farage wants to abolish the Lords

I'm reading the HoL can delay bills for up to 12 months, seems overbearing enough to me

They're also unelected and many stick around for life

Also completely unacceptable in a proper democracy

yeah they should probably be yeeted

what about congress? dont you have lifers there too?

idk fortunately I'm not British, which is probably why I can give myself the luxury of criticizing their government so harshly without going insane from learning how it works

there's a democrat that served 59 years uninterrupted in congress

PS: not saying too many European countries are particularly democratic

59 years sounds either respectable or complete nuts

Not sure if I wanna figure out which of those it is

Imagine coming in

knowing only a tiny bit about politics

and just saying

"THE HUS OF LORDS IS UNDEMOKRATIK

Well it is

That part is indisputable

Do you realise it's purpose?

and it's efficiency?

That's not the point
