 @9grand as one of the lords said, they don't have to worry about elections, so they don't worry about pleasing a very select group of people, they are free to think of the big picture

@9grand that would be the case, but the difference is the lords do not have the power to create or repeal laws on their own. They have to work through the house of commons

@9grand veto no, influence yes

One thing I'm curious about when all this talk about expenses is brought up is how much do elected politicians spend on their own election and re-election campaigns, and how compromised are they when companies sponsor them. It's a problem the lords don't worry about and I wonder what difference it makes
