      Behind bars? They are in front of them. There are 30 bars and restaurants in the Palace of Westminster, all subsidised by the tax payer. After all, we can't expect Peers on a mere £323 a day to pay full price for their drinks. As one Noble Lord apparently put it: "This is the only club in England where they pay you to eat lunch." How I laughed when I heard that. I expect you're laughing too.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@mqxogamessorry, is the fact you’re Irish supposed to make that comment sound any less laughable?
      The voting history of the lords is enough evidence for a toddler to understand that the majority of them couldn’t care less about bettering their country, the reason they cherish their position is precisely because there are no constituents to represent, so they can behave entirely in their own interest. There is absolutely no risk in ignoring the needs of the country because you can’t be voted out no matter how despicable you are.
      If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, voting on behalf of 70,000 people who elected you and can remove you instead of for absolutely no one except yourself and the other self-serving power that appointed you tends to be more of what we call ‘democratic’.

      You gotta be havin' a laugh ! Keir Starmer and the Labour Party to reform the Lords - never gonna happen. For some very strange reason, the War Criminal, Tony Blair was given a peerage, not only for taking us into a needless War based on a pack of lies, he's also the person most directly responsible for opening up British borders to unfettered immigration and we've been trying to deal with the consequences of his treasonous act ever since ! Starmer won't be doing anything to the House of Lords whatsoever, since he's actually got that War Criminal currently advising him behind the scenes, for when he inevitably gets the keys to No 10 !

      @@jamesbarbour8400 I'd be very interested to hear your reasoning to back up your statement. Perhaps, if true, it will be because the country has been put in such a parlous state by the Conservatives over the past decade, that no incoming government will be able to make up the lost ground with any rapidity. Remember what Rees Mogg said about it 'taking 50 years' to get back to an economy at the same level as it was before leaving the EU? He was right. But then, the Tories have always been about dismantling and selling off 'the family silver' to their friends, who contribute nothing and take their wealth overseas whilst, at the same time, consolidating their power over the ordinary citizens of the UK. To be honest, the Muppets would be better at running the country than this corrupt, incompetent bunch of liars and theives.

    I'm a bit confused. The people have the opportunity to vote for other people (some of whom prove to be incompetent) yet lobbying is a means for unelected non-voting entities to shape the laws that are passed on behalf of the electorate? This practice seems to have been in place for eons but is it legal or simply not illegal?
    MPs are, seemingly, rewarded with lucrative jobs. Some MPs get gongs, and some business managers get Lordships.
    The HoL and the system of giving OBEs etc needs a major overhaul.
