Oh come off it. Tone said in 1997 he was going to reform the house of lords to make it a representative body. Now, instead of going there because you are a peer (which at least had the advantage of being slightly random), you go there by kissing Tony's backside.

Yeah, that's a great step forward in modern democratic governance all right. Once again the UK shows the world how these things are done.

I'd also like to know how "filling it up with labour peers" constitutes being "represented evenly". 35.3% of voters voted labour, 21.6% of the country voted Labour, obviously those 21.6% deserve to be "represented equally" by a bunch of Tony's chums?
