One hundred days ago the House of Commons witnessed a dramatic change in personnel.

A Conservative majority was voted in unexpectedly and 56 SNP MMPs were elected which with the humbling of the Liberal democrats saw one of the most significant elections in recent memory.

It all changed because the people said so. Each and every one of the 650 MPs of every party has a democratic right to sit in the House of Commons and have a say in the laws of the land.

The House of Lords also changed this year, not as dramatically and a lot less quietly.

There have been 11 new lords created in 2015 so far and that before the 50 or so expected to be announced by the UK Government.

There’s Francis Maude, former Tory minister. Lord Dunlop, an adviser to David Cameron and key player in the UK Government’s independence referendum strategy.

There’s Lord Prior a former Conservative Party chief executive and Lord Bridges a former Tory campaign director.

In total seven Tory and four crossbench Lords have taken up seats in 2015 and two of them are hereditary peers.

They were elected; yes we have elected hereditary peers, an oxymoron if ever I heard one.

You probably missed that by-election, because that’s what it was a by-election of other Lords to elect a new member who gets appointed by nature of his male ancestry.

Seriously, I am not making this up.

My favourite of the new Lords, is the Earl of Kinnoull, Sir Charles William Harley Hay, the 16th earl passed from father to eldest son since it was first created in 1663 by King Charles I.

That’s not why he’s my favourite. He’s my favourite because he is a member of the Lords Social Mobility Committee. Absurdity is reaching new levels here.

The 50 or so new Lords expected to be announced by David Cameron soon are expected to include some politicians who retired or lost their seats. Danny Alexander has been mentioned as a possible Lord. Some Labour MP’s who lost their seats will no doubt find their way onto the red benches.

It really is thumbing your nose at the electorate. What odds against some of the Tory MPs standing down at Holyrood next year to make way for new blood being given a peerage as a reward or inducement to step aside.

I haven’t mentioned the Bishops yet, Have I. Yes the 26 Church of England Bishops who get to sit in the Lords. Another time maybe.

A glimpse of Parliament TV will see some of the 700 odd Lords having a wee nap while earning their £300 a day allowance.

It’s time to put the House of Lords to sleep.
