Second Chamber

Justice Secretary Jack Straw has promised that if re-elected, Labour will transform the House of Lords into a democratically elected second chamber.

"We know we promised this fifteen years ago, but this time we really mean it, as we do everything else we promise."

  3. Patronage is too valuable and Brown has kept his government alive with the help of unelected ministers. After a hung parliament, I can't see it happening

  4. Far too useful for Labour to keep it unelected - this government thrives on patronage
