I'm not in the 60% but I don't care enough to want to rock the boat either - an unelected figurehead head of state has some benefits.
If I could snap my fingers and remove the royal family at no cost I would but otherwise there are bigger problems we need to address first.
- pjc50 5y agoIndeed. Replace the House of Lords with something proportionally elected, for example.
- alephu5 5y agoI think there's value in having an unelected second chamber, because the lords are freer to broach unpopular but important subjects. Nevertheless imo it would be much better to have them randomly chosen from society.
- midasuni 5y agoReplace the commons with PR (STV on constituencies c. 6 times the size), replace the lords with people who have been in the commons for 20 years. Ensures fresh blood in the commons and removes the need to pander to the short term elections in the lords.
