The person who wanted them gone, which in this case is you. _You_, you. > That is an astonishing statement given their previous stances on various issues. What gives you that confidence? Watching the government trying to pass mental laws and having them rejected by people with no skin in the game. Democracy doesn't work when everyone's in it for themselves, and the public are easily manipulated. | |||||||||||||||||

>>The person who wanted them gone, which in this case is you. _You_, you Well I wanted house of lords gone and that clearly hasn't happened, so....I don't feel like I got what I wanted? Or did you just assume I wanted just heridetary peers gone? If so, how did you make that assumption? >>Watching the government trying to pass mental laws and having them rejected by people with no skin in the game.

That was as recently as 1998-1999. What paragons of sensible law making. | |||||||||||||||||
