Topic	UK house of lords calls for regulations on loot boxes
Trelve 07/02/20 1:04:21 PM #7:	DeadBankerDream posted... I don't understand why the British population views the continued existence of the house of lords as acceptable. Powerless monarchy, understandable. Fully. ""Powerless"" upper house of parliament that gets to advice in political matter based entirely on birth, status in the state church or appointment by lord fartministers of ages past? How is that acceptable in a "democracy"? The majority of us don't, but there's not a lot you can do about the House of Lords. All major parties have members in the HoL so they'd never vote to scrap it. It is what it is. <cite>Trelve posted [p:941573364] in UK house o...
