As it becomes increasingly clear that the Tories cannot guarantee ramming their vile policies down our throats because of opposition in the House of Lords they have hit upon a new tactic - packing the Lords with new Tories who are willing to do the nasty. Plans are afoot to appoint 60 new peers - 40 Tories, 15 Lib Dems and 5 Labour. As with the general election, when they couldn't win the argument and obtain a majority, they have decided to circumvent the inconveniences of our bicameral democracy and cheat us out of any opposition. We asked a Tory spokesperson for the party view; "Our democracy is always evolving and we are determined to make absolutely sure that in evolves in ways that suit us. We have three years left to make sure we have a permanent majority in the country and have the only kind of democracy that is acceptable to us - a one party democracy. We have a whole raft of vile, nasty and completely unacceptable policies we need to force through before anyone can stop us and we intend to get on with it whether anyone else agrees or not."
