Just watching the racing at Ascot where Interview a youngish lad who was a direct descendant and the son of a whoever the current Hardwick is. his ambition is to join the House of Lords…got me raging again about hereditary peers! What gives him the right to expect to walk into the upper house and decide laws of of the land it’s too hot…. nurse a towel!!
Totally agree. I think the second chamber should be made up ( at least partially) by being randomly selected like for jury service) for a year. Would fit in with working parents too, because of the holidays.
