The article was most enlightening regarding the early formation of our parliament. The lords seems over crowded today and has been expensive for the public’s benefit.
I share your sentiments, and those of Walter Bagehot, who wrote "A severe, though not unfriendly, critic of our institutions said that 'The cure for admiring the House of Lords was to go and look at it.'"
That was a wonderful article about an important historical figure I knew nothing about. By the way, Simon de Montfort was the answer to a Times Daily Quiz question today. I think the Quizmasters may be getting inspiration from you!
