An early entrant for the year's most misleading headline in the Telegraph today.
On the face of it great idea - we need to save money, a second unelected house probably is overkill in our democracy. Close the whole lot down and use it to pay off the national deficit.
But it's not quite that severe, instead proposals to reform the house to make it electable rather than chosen by elected representatives who typically use it to serve their own interests.
The one good point made for this is the longer term that they would serve, 15 years - maybe giving a longer term view to law making. But other than that couldn't we just save the money?
