Thread:Comments:UK government plans to replace House of Lords with elected chamber/God Save the Queen! She ain't no human being!/reply (4)

The only reason this is happening is because the government sees the Lords as an impediment to its ability to pass whatever laws they want. The Lords has rejected several Draconian Labour bills over the years; an elected house would bring them under complete control of the whips without all that scandalous cash-for-peerages nonsense.

Patrick has yet to state exactly what it is that the monarchy has done, even in history (were that indeed a valid argument for overthrowing them today), that is so vile; and that last comment doesn't seem to make any sense - 'please excuse my opinions, I'm inherently biased'?
