The Lords (redux)
2005-Aug-13, Saturday 14:41The Lords Reform Day thing went rather well, and I got a link; feels a bit strange to be amongst such august company. Still, there were some damn fine articles written, and some great ideas.
Blood and Treasure explains the lottery appointments system better than I could, and I pretty much agree with the principle. However, I'm persuaded to not go for it 100% (always was really), Nosemonkey puts a pretty strong case for a degree of appointmented members; I like the idea of a revision chamber containing experts from their field.
So, the reformers are splitting into two camps, those who want an elected senate, and those who want a decent, non-partizan revision chamber. I've been in the latter camp for about ten years, nice to know I'm not alone.
