As Ministers introduce plans to remove heredity peers from the Lords... the Q. is will this be the first step of meaningful reform of the second chamber, or be seen as sufficient.
Here's my proposals for reform...
Choose members by lottery;
Limit terms of office to two years;
balance citizens with experts;
increase the voice of the young;
Focus scrutiny on key bills.
