unelected decision makers 'life peers'.... Why do we have them?
'The former Marks & Spencer boss Sir Stuart Rose, the football executive and Apprentice star Karren Brady, the publisher Gail Rebuk, and the former Tory pollster Andrew Cooper are among the list of new working peers announced by Downing Street.
Of the 22, there are 12 Conservative peers, six Liberal Democrats, three Labour and one Democratic Unionist. Half are women.'
Is it a way for a party to get their supporters and backers more power and influence? Doesn't seem very democratic....
Do you think we should have them or not?
