Horse, cart, arse, face?

Another genius idea from a contributor to Progress Online for the first 100 days of the next Labour leader, this time from John Dixon in Sutton.
"Have a single vote to abolish the house of lords and then a referendum onto how it should be replaced/ if at all."
Let's just clarify. John wants us to have a vote (essentially an either/or referendum) to abolish the House of Lords. Then he wants to have another vote to decide what to do with the House of Lords. John I salute your genius, I really do!

Barking.

Here's anoither completely backwards one from Stuart (London):

'Adopt a Trade Union Freedom Bill to unshackle the unions. Having the most restrictive labour laws in Western Europe is nothing to be proud of.'

I'd rather thought powerfull trade unions were the source of restrictive labour laws, rather than the solution?
