Keir Starmer ‘eyes dozens of new peers to aid Labour government’

We really need electoral reform - enough of parties getting big majorities in the commons and stuffing the lords with supporters.
Even starting with proportional representation in local elections would be a game changer. Although the tories got rid of it in London to increase their chances of winning the mayoralty.
The best outcome in the next election is a hung parliament with Labour depending on the Lib Dems for a majority, and the Lib Dems forcing through electoral reform. No referendums, no more dicussion. They should do what all the other parties do and say "parliament is supreme and our manifesto was clear".
