Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the right to sit in the House of Lords by birth is "indefensible" and his government has started the process to end it👏

..and "he and his peers bring a certain life experience..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
..wait, is today the 1st of April?
Now all you need is to fall out of lucky vagina #1, live a life of luxury, suffering only the best of everything. Time for a republic!
This guy is Britishing too close to the sun
Or by nepotism?
Or by membership of a church?
Or as part of a party superannuation scheme for the unelectable?
Or the right to sit in the House of Lords at all‽
Have number of seats (25%?) filled by members of the public drawn by lottery like jury duty doing a six or eight year term say that would bridge governments.
Could the same logic be applied elsewhere also perhaps.
Good first step in the right direction.
Well let's hope so.
Keir wasting his limited political time on class wars.

Who gave him his knighthood?
I have a feeling perhaps Keir has a slow long term plan to change the norms of the establishment. I hope so. With ending Brexit being the end goal!
😐
In my view that disqualifies you from rational conversation.
Should we tell the 7 million people on waiting lists to hang on for another 5 years until we get around to helping them?
30 years in total against 70 years of tories, who do you think the blame for consistently wrecking the country?
I could maybe argue that because it is a single executive position, perhaps the original ruler's wisdom (a combination of their genetics and education) could be passed down.
But statistically, there is probably a better candidate for ruler who is not related to the current one.
There are some genuine good arguments (some perhaps only in theory) for the house of lords, which should be managed by reform.
His lack of ambition (once again) is incredibly disappointing.
