A thread on Lords reform, since it's topical.
What is the function of a revising chamber? Should we have one?
The function is clear: have a parliamentary body that scrutinizes legislation in detail to ensure it makes sense and won't have any bad, unintended consequences (along with a double-check that the intended consequences are good ones).
So, plot twist! This thread is mostly about the House of Commons.
