If Britain is truly a democracy, the House of Lords has no place in it. The Tory practice of handing peerages to party treasurers shows why abolishing the upper house is the only way to get rid of the reek of sleaze - Jeremy Paxman thetimes.co.uk/article/if…

Honest Question: Why do British Citizens Put up With Monarchy and Unelected Members of House of lords? Like isn't that hard earned tax money subsidizing the lives of very rich people who did not win an election but were just born lucky?

I find it kind of funny and weird at the same time. I can't imagine paying taxes to someone with this much power who wasn't elected or get to his/her position through merit. I mean its your hard earned money... It also flaws a democracy that a significant portion of a chamber of parliament has unelected members... Why do they randomly get to have power over some of the laws passed? Esp the 91 hereditary peers...

Also isn't it a bit discriminatory to have 26 church bishops in the house of lords?

fyi not british, so curious about what british people think of this, let me know if i have mis stated something, I was just reading about the british political system and had a hard time digesting it.

Edit: Wow what an amazing response, thanks guys/gals learned a lot! It seems the issue is not as clear cut as I thought.

TIL that an Irish woman who was convicted of murder attempted to flee Ireland in 2000 by having a cat named Lachie (the cat is now known as Lachie in the UK) walk around her house. Instead of having her imprisoned, the cat went on to commit another crime.

On today's agenda (Jan 10th) is this little beauty:

GRC or otherwise.

All I personally take from this is cruelty and hatred of trans people. This seriously can't be 2022... right?
