Elections are not the only way to bring honour to the Lords

Article Abstract:

It is clear that it is now time to reform the UK House of Lords. The abolition of hereditary peerages is not really a cause for much regret, but it is important to consider what the outcome of this significant change will be. A reformed House of Lords must still be able to limit the tendency of executives to turn into elective dictatorships. It must be able to revise legislation and to act as a monitor of poor drafting of bills. Furthermore, it should act as a means of checking when the government is failing to heed legitimate criticism.

If Mo Mowlam has lost the trust of the unionists, she has to go

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom government has to tackle the problems of Northern Ireland, or simply leave the responsibility to unpopular ministers, as occurred in the days of Margaret Thatcher. This means that prime minister, Tony Blair, has to pay attention to details. It has become clear that those who perpetrate violence in Northern Ireland do not have the support of the public. Mo Mowlam is popular in the UK mainland for her work on Northern Ireland, but she should be replaced if she is not trusted by unionists in Northern Ireland.

The rifts open in the press lords' anti-euro front

Article Abstract:

It is very interesting to consider whether UK newspapers will shift their stance on European monetary union (EMU) membership in the run-up to the next general election, and any referendum on EMU entry. The media climate is currently generally favourable to the government, even though the Labour party still sometimes criticizes the 'Conservative press.' In the next election, there could be a divergence between the party that newspapers encourage their readers to support and their stance on EMU entry.
