Address the affront to democracy that is the House of Lords
Abolish the House of Lords
Why is this important?
In May 2015 the electorate of Caithness, Sutherland & Easter Ross returned Dr Paul Monaghan as their MP, a massive swing of 27 percent had unseated the sitting Lib Dem MP, John Thurso.
Incredibly less than twelve months later and following an electoral process that allowed three Lib Dem Hereditary Peers to determine his selection, John Thurso again became a Hereditary Peer in the House of Lords with the title of Viscount Thurso.
The fact that John Thurso can now be in a position to affect the democratic will of his successor is an affront to democracy that totally unacceptable in a modern democracy in the 21st century.
