No, I agree of sorts. Though I'd still rather have a second house filled with cronies, who were there because of whatever earned merit, rather then people who were there because of their birth right.

If I had my way I'd have an elected second chamber, and I'd personally open Parliament for them each November, because I'd get rid of the Royal Family too.

Oh well, come the revolution.
