robaus Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Are you saying the centuries old system of democracy in the UK is undemocratic and not an example to be followed It would be wonderful if Thailand followed the model of the UK House of Commons. The House of Lords is just a glorified retirees debating society with no power to prevent legislation. Its composition is unrepresentative and anachronistic too... including 26 bishops from the Church of England..Rabbis, Imams and Catholics need not apply and 92 hereditary upper class twits, the vast majority of whom are male heirs..only 2 women. All very quaint but a waste of UK tax payers’ money. I notice you side stepped the question, Flash.. “Would you like an unelected upper house appointed by Obama in the USA?..and if not, why not?†..over my dead body probably, but such a system is OK for the plebs of Isaan, who are unfit to vote anyway, according to Singha heiress Chitpas. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/11/world/asia/thai-beer-loses-esteem-after-heiresss-remarks.html?_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
