Lords Reform Aaaargh.
So, the Conservatives have blocked Lords Reform*, and in response the Lib Dems have blocked boundary reform. Which basically makes it utterly impossible for The Conservatives to ever have a majority of seats. Combining that with the fact that they've just made it clear that they can't be relied upon to live up to any coalition agreements, you have to wonder if they ever want to hold power ever again.
I really can't see what the Conservatives get out of this.
*Some people are blaming Labour for blocking Lords reform, but as Labour had a referendum on it as part of their manifesto I can understand them wanting to stick to that.
