Why aren't these traitors all behind bars? Make it make sense...

[@realhorrorshow8547]

Behind bars? They are in front of them. There are 30 bars and restaurants in the Palace of Westminster, all subsidised by the tax payer. After all, we can't expect Peers on a mere £323 a day to pay full price for their drinks. As one Noble Lord apparently put it: "This is the only club in England where they pay you to eat lunch." How I laughed when I heard that. I expect you're laughing too.

Why is there over 800 in the House of Lords. Just imagine them all turning up in one day, £265,600 tax free. This has to stop. It needs reducing to 100 lords and a term of 2 years and no payouts once their term expires

[@TheNemocharlie]

Still, spared the ultimate indignity - Nadine Dorries..

[@mqxogames]

As an Irish person, I feel like term limits on the lords is a little thick. Their entire purpose is to be able to work for the actual betterment of the country because they don’t need to worry about how their constituents will vote in the next election, and that doesn’t sound ridiculous to me.

[@kozomi_]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@mqxogamessorry, is the fact you’re Irish supposed to make that comment sound any less laughable? The voting history of the lords is enough evidence for a toddler to understand that the majority of them couldn’t care less about bettering their country, the reason they cherish their position is precisely because there are no constituents to represent, so they can behave entirely in their own interest. There is absolutely no risk in ignoring the needs of the country because you can’t be voted out no matter how despicable you are. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, voting on behalf of 70,000 people who elected you and can remove you instead of for absolutely no one except yourself and the other self-serving power that appointed you tends to be more of what we call ‘democratic’.

Greed is a pandemic and it needs to be rooted out and condemned. I’m not British, this is the small tip of the iceberg of what is happening and has always been happening on a global scale. We all know it is bad across political ideologies. We all want a thriving economy and competent people in charge. But a system that allows for this sort of favoritism will never allow competence to shine through because it will only go to illuminate their crimes.
