Extract from Lords debate on House of Lords: Governance - Dec 8

Lord Mann (Non-Afl):...There needs to be a level of reality. I suspect that nobody here would second a resolution for us to have a referendum to abolish this place. What vote would we get? It would be the overwhelming consensus of the British people that we should go. Frankly, the only problem would be those people who do not bother to vote; they would certainly be the majority because, a bit like with Police and Crime Commissioners  most people care so little about us they would not even bother to vote to get rid of something they regard as irrelevant to their lives.
