I know lobbying is nothing new - but I find this video really shocking. Is an elected 2nd chamber the answer?

It's all gone to pot since they changed the Upper House from hereditary peers to ex-politicians and friends of the government given life peerages.

Yep. The House of Lords stopped the Commons from running amok, but no more.

I don't see the point of TWO elected houses. One is bad enough.

Lobbying is legalised bribery.

Peer for cash.....try loitering along Marsham Steet you could get lucky.
