The two sided house of commons is already outdated as much as it is decrepid and in danger of collapsing into the Thames.
A new building to house parliament is needed with the modern equivalent of a round table for a, single transferable vote, modern democracy.
A second similar building also for a new elected second house would be sensible at the same time.

Nice to see the old Tory Rory Stewart advocating for a PR system and other progressive policies - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/19/labour-save-itself-from-disaster-keir-starmer-panel-part-two

John Elliott, "businessesman", on stage at a Reform UK rally: "...anyone who voted remain shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”
I am a UK citizen, a European, and a human. You will not take more of my rights away. Joking or not, this rhetoric is dangerous, destructive, and must be challenged.
Volunteers at @DemocracyClub collect links & info about UK local election candidates to help voters make informed decisions. However, there are a lot of by-elections this October, so we're a little swamped. If you have a spare moment, you can help by going to https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/ and seeing if you can add a link to a candidate's social media, or their profile on the local party website.
The sheer glee in his voice when John Woodcock talks about locking people up and taking away their rights of free association. This is not someone who should be permitted anywhere near legislation protecting our democracy, never mind writing reports for government about it.

If you think Labour would scrap this once in power, think agan
I'm not a football fan and don't much care for the sport but have a renewed lot of respect for Lineker. And feel saddened that the BBC is now plunging to such depths to try to appease the forces that would like to replace it with a Murdoch-style set up.
