    Man reading this makes me realise this is exactly how an out of touch aristocracy works. It’s just so bizarre how it’s ticking away affecting millions of people, despite how divorced from reality it’s reasoning is.

      this is exactly how an out of touch aristocracy works

      Most members of the House of Lords are not aristocrats, and are appointed to the position.

        Yeah, I think I was going for they are more like aristocracy than actual public service. It bamboozles because you’d think they would be able to understand basic things.

        I mean I don’t personally expect it, but it would be nice

      Do you want to know what’s worse?

      Most MPs aren’t from the aristocracy. Most are just middle class or upper middle class.

      They’re just that disconnected.
