There are still ninety two hereditary peers in the Lords. Many peers have no political alliegance, when the is an elected second chamber all it will give us is same old same.

Belgium seems to be doing very well without a government.
From the Telegraph
Belgium has now gone for more than a year without a government and, you know what? Life is carrying on as normal. The crops are growing, the wheels are turning in the factories, the civil servants (there are lots of these) are lingering over their coffee and speculoos biscuits. A lighter than normal legislative agenda has given the country something of a boost: growth forecasts keep being upwardly revised, and the economy is expected to expand by 2.3 per cent this year
Telegraph Link
What other country in the EU or the one across the pond expects 2.3% growth this year?
China?
Since when was China a part of the EU or the USA?
