Re: Brexit: Get on with it already? (4.00 / 2)

This is precisely a question that interests me- the role of the House of Lords. It appears the Lords are used on occasion to get the commons off the hook, ie a law is deliberately worded and passed so that the Lords will trash it, saving face for all. but then we need a knowledgeable Brit to weigh in on this.

I'd think the problem with that is the age of the people in the lords is the age of people most likely to vote out.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

I've heard debate is far more informed there than elsewhere...

Well, they did want to leave the EU because of its democratic deficit.....
