That only works if they arent actively working to disrupt on behalf of Russia. Hungary needs to be forced to choose and cant have it both ways

EU needs a mechanism to kick countries like Hungary out of the EU.

In those examples their second chamber is made up of elected officials or officials elected by elected officials. Not cronies appointed by 1 man/woman with no democratic credentials whatsoever

Difference between Rejoin and getting rid of the House of Horrors is the former is reliant on 27 other countries agreeing to it. The Lords can be gotten rid of through legislation without needing the agreement of anyone else.

The way you do that is to link Lords with corruption. Make this an anti corruption drive and getting rid of corruption in politics. When people hear about Lords they glaze over, when they hear about corruption and dodgy behaviour they get angry. Its abt narrative

It wasnt the only way. It was a manifesto commitment, they could have forced it through with the Parliament Act. The House of Horrors needs to be abolished and replaced with an elected chamber. Adding to its corruption just makes it look even worse.

IPP sentences are the biggest miscarriage of justice in our legal history yet not a single Labour MP is willing to scrap them historically.

Or we could deport Randy Fine (I mean what a stupid name)

Absolutely fucking nonsense from people like her. Its why I have totally given up on Labour as a party of progressives.

Heres an idea for effective scrutiny, a separate elected 2nd chamber with its own powers, like most other democracies on the planet. This isnt hard,

Bullshit. It was in Labours manifesto, they could have just imposed the Parliament Act, forced it through.

In one way I agree, he is just going to be replaced by another unelected corrupt sack of shit with allegiance to a party instead. Shuffling fuckchairs on the Titanic, thats what this is.

Or just put it in a manifesto and force it through with the Parliament act. Weak weak lefty politicians is the problem.

Because it isnt actually that hard at all. And much easier than rejoin.

By passing a law abolishing peers and introducing an elected chamber. Put it in a manifesto and force it through with the Parliament Act

Disagree its very possible, just requires a party with some gumption.

Heres a better idea, introduce an elected 2nd chamber like most of the rest of the world.

So Labour decided to replace it with cronyism linked to life expectancy. Big fucking deal this replacement (not) 🤣

yes. they need to be booted out as soon as possible.

we can't allow them a second term. there'll be no country left if we do.

Lol this is the thinking of the political class who think the public give a shit between hereditary corrupt cronies and jobs for life corrupt cronies. Totally out of touch with reality and waiting for destruction.

If you dont listen to the chords then you get eaten alive by them

Yep which is why Labour and Tories are about to be utterly destroyed.

Apart from the fact it isnt riddance, they have been given life peerages.

Oh I always moan about the status quo

They still will pack the benches!

Get over yourself. Replacing an unelected apparachik with a corrupt party crony apparachik is not a win. Labour needs to give its head a wobble.

Where can we can the higher rate from?

Nah fuck it get rid of Labour
