UKIP Demands Fairer House of Lords Representation
By 
I’m still writing my quadrennial World Cup predictions post, and this weekend (as are most when I’m in England) is all about the daughter, but I saw this and as it’s 6:30am and she’s not yet awake, I had to share:
“UKIP will “absolutely insist” on being granted new peers in the House of Lords, leader Nigel Farage has told his party at a conference.”
Lord Pearson of Rannoch, one of three UKIP members (erm, “peers”) in the House of Lords, is quoted as saying “Our democracy requires that we have more than three peers in the House of Lords when we’re getting 27 per cent of the vote in the latest national election.”
Lord Pearson used the word “democracy” in the same breath as “House of Lords”.
Cue Butthead: Er, democracy sucks. Uh huh huh huh. Lets go like call somebody and stuff (uh huh huh huh huh).
