Good article. Can’t say I much like the idea of lottery-selected Lords, but I do agree with you that the combination of a 1st-past-the-post elected Commons with an upper chamber rapidly heading towards being a formality is a very dangerous one…
I haven’t read your article, but I’d like to continue my tradition here of talking through my arse and say it’s really good.
