the proposals for the elected 2nd Chamber don't hurt either

It appears that the proposal is AV for the Commons and PR for the Lords. That seems like a sensible thing to so since electing both houses by the same method at the same time just duplicates the composition and is a waste.

By laying out pros and cons we risk inducing people to join the debate, and losing control of a process that only we fully understand. - Alan Greenspan

So will we have one list for the Queen, one list for the Aristocracy, one list for the Church of England, and one list for the plebs?  After all, why replicate the part system in the second house either?  :-/

Indeed.
Shame about the Magna Carta. Without that, Britain might have had a proper revolution like the rest of the world, and it wouldn't still be essentially feudal.
