What an extraordinary series of contortions is being plagued on "the mother of all parliaments. "No single party would be allowed to command an overall majority, no matter how big its majority in the Commons"; "[t]o ensure that all groups are represented, the new commission would have to appoint some atheists." What a strange new Frankenstein's monster this upper chamber will be: half elected, with the other half appointed (by who knows what means) to make some crude attempt at representing all sections of society. The House of Lords was always undemocratic, but it was never as ungainly as this lumbering brute.

And what in the world does it say about me, a life-long Libertarian leaning Republican, that I not only did not find the headline unreadable, I pretty much knew what it meant. Interesting article. England is trying to invent a Senate, but appears not to have a clue as to how to go about it.
