Quote: The Ghost of '99 "It's a paradox isn't it - the unelected, undemocratic House stopping the directly-elected one from imposing grotesque changes to our civil liberties.
Neither are the answer. The HoL should be abolished (I'd replace it with a directly-elected, proportional representation Senate with no stated party affiliations, no whips offices, six year terms, with you capped at serving two terms. Elect a third of them every two years).
But also our rights should be properly enshrined constitutionally, in law rather than at risk of the whim of every wannabe neofascist who inhabits the Home Office and finds people protesting a bit uncomfortable.'"
Excellent summary. Saved me typing.
