All this by a bunch of unelected nobs who mostly got their positions by donations to governments of one kind or another.
Most of them are political hacks that didn't get re-elected so they got bumped up to the HoL.
Now, if the HoL went back to what it was - hereditary Lords, we might get an independent house that is not beholden to any political party. As it stands at the moment all we have is another expensive committee for the HoC which defeats the object of having the upper house.
