He plans to shrink the Commons

"Call Me Dave" says he wants to reduce the size of the House of Commons... in the interest of democracy and cost to the public purse.

Funny therefore to discover that in just 11 months CTD has managed to make 117 new Lords... taking the total number of sitting Peers to a staggering 792!

The House of Lords has never had so many members.

We ask... how is this in the democratic interest?

and,

Just how much is this costing?
