Modeller, Blair created an average of 37 peers per year, Cameron has created 117 in eleven months! At this rate, they'll be hanging out of the blessed windows by 2015!
However, I totally agree with you about Lords Spiritual. Why are these dignitaries of the Church of ENGLAND allowed to legislate for the people of BRITAIN? If they must, they should be accompanied by similar numbers form the other national churches. Even if I were English, I'd still disagree with their right to create laws for England anyway.
In answer to the question, Cameron & Co are pretty pathetic...he goes to the strife-torn Middle East accompanied by a herd of arms-manufacturers...the Health Secretary fails to attend the nurses' conference and the Education Secretary fails to attend the teachers' one.
I loved it when the junior minister who DID attend the teachers' one said, "Michael's on holiday" when asked why he wasn't there. A cry went up from around the hall, "So are we!"
