House of Lords to be replaced by panel from The Voice
In a major constitutional change aimed at raising public levels of interest in parliamentary proceedings at least above those enjoyed by chaffinches on Countyfile, the House of Lords is to be scrapped and replaced by a new second chamber consisting of Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J, Danny O’Donoghue, and Will.i.am.
The Voice panel will listen to all proposed Bills from the Commons with their chairs turned away. If one or more of the judges likes the sound of the legislation they can press a button causing their chair to spin round, automatically triggering a round of applause and a Second Reading.
