Bashing the Bishops

[sunny-dave]

Which are the only two countries to have seats reserved for clerics in their legislature ??

That'll be the UK and ...errrr .... Iran.

Perhaps it is time to get the Bishops out of the House of Lords ...

I agree, it's time these relics of a superstitious past were side-lined.

[sunny-dave]

Oh dear - that had never occurred to me nibble ...

I suppose, that if Her Majesty, as Head Honcho of the C. of E. our established church, cannot make it to the legislation halls, then she might be excused for having her reps sit in for her, to keep a spiritual eye on their noble lords.
And they do add a bit of colour.
