Twenty-three new legislators-for-life have been appointed to sit in the UK parliament. The new legislators who demonstrate their contempt for the rights of the British people include former trade union general secretary Bill Morris as well as a number of business people.
Four nominees for legislator-for-life who had given large donations to the Labour or Conservative parties were not given seats in the legislature apparently as a result of objections by the commission that reviews nominations for the seats.
Legislators-for-life are known as “peers” and “lords”. They are not accountable for their acts as legislators and may not be removed by the people.
