There is a difference between Tony B Liar's Labour party and the Tories?
Personally I hope the Labour membership elects the right candidate so one can tell a difference again. Otherwise we in England have got nobody worthwhile to vote for.
As for reformation of the House of Lords and the electoral system in general my suggestion is this:
Have the House of Commons adopt proportional representation with the MPs picked according to party lists while the HoL is elected according to the first-past-the-post system currently used to elect the HoC but with no party whip at all.
Members of the HoL to assume the MP surgery duties. That'll get rid of a lot of free loaders currently inhabiting the HoL!
