It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

@kityates Abolish HoL. Replace with senate based away from London. Remove Scottish, Welsh and NI MPs from HoC leaving it as English parliament. Grant all four equal powers over their own territory and restrict the Senate to cross border and foreign affairs.

@kityates what about if your dad has kompromat on your mate? Is that okay?

@kityates Did Boris Johnson put both of them in there?

[distinctdipole@tech.lgbt]

@muddle @kityates I think MM was on a Cameron list.

Either way, they're both unfit for the office they hold: one fraudster and one Russian asset.

We shouldn't still be discussing their presence!

@ehproque @kityates Only if he is a bishop and/or significant donor to the party.

@kityates This might be s stupid question as I know very little about your system: Why do you have a house og lords?
