Just more politicians seeking to create more mayhem. Couldn't it just be that their Lordships serve us well in keeping the more contentious legislation in check?
I really doubt if you understand the real politk at work where "The Other Place" is concerned let alone the very limited power they have since Blair drove a coach and horses through what he didn't like.
