australia has 150 seats in its house of representatives, and only 76 places in its upper house or senaters, making it more than three times the size of its senate. and what about france? its national assembly has 577 deputies, with 348 in the senate. in fact, the only assembly bigger than the house of lords is china's national people's congress, with 2,980 deputies. julia butler. well, one mp clearly thinks we've got too many members of the lords, as he made clear at prime minister's questions. after all these defeats, apparently we need the right type of crony. there are now over 800 cronies, donors and aristocrats in that circus down the corridor, embarrassing this nation and mocking any notion of democracy. how many more is she going to appoint, and when enough be enough? can i say to the right honourable gentleman that actually the total size of the house of lords has fallen since i took office injuly 2016. from the sound of what he says, he is making a bid for himself to be put in the house of lords. he needs to speak to his leader. so what chance of the house of lords and the house

back to the commons, where mps look at changes that their colleagues in the upper house have made. uickly become law. i beg to move that the house agrees with the lords in amendment two, and following that brief moment of disagreement with their lordships, i am pleased to say that we are now encouraging the house to agree with their lordships in all other amendments. but if some or all of the changes go against what the government wants, then the bill bounces back... to the house of lords, along with reasons why the government doesn't agree with them. during parliamentary ping—pong, the text of the bill is still physically transported from one chamber to another and back again. parliamentary clerks act as messengers between the commons and the lords, and use norman french to indicate what stage the discussions have got to, although they set out the reasons why an agreement can't be reached in english. the game between the green team in the commons and the red team in the lords has a number of possible outcomes. the bill will continue to bounce backwards and forwards as lords insist

britain's upper house of parliament has voted against any deal with the e.u. ich could bring back controls along the irish border house of lords heard that a so-called hard border would violate the peace agreement that helped end decades of conflict in northern ireland impasse more pressure on prime minister theresa may was facing a revolt from within her own party present regs it m.p.'s oppose any customs partnership with the e.u. one of the options may is considering they don't want the u.k. to have any links to e.u. laws after it leaves the bloc john howard has more on the debate in westminster. well talks in the so-called war cabinet on brics is unlikely to go past wednesday of course but they begin in earnest today on britain's customs relations with the european union after brigid and what position the government decides to take into negotiations may well determine the nature of britain's exit from the european union why because well if it goes in with a position that would require some sort of border to be set up between northern ireland in the u.k. and

the upper house seems determined to make life as difficult as possible for a prime minister for whom as difficult, if not more difficult, then she could have imagined. you sense we are on the brink of a resignation or two from one of those senior levels of government. if you look at boris johnson, his focus has clearly been more on westminster than iran today. he is practically gearing the prime minister —— he has practically dared the prime minister to sack him. it is getting out of hand. i don't often agree with the daily express andi often agree with the daily express and i can see i am now agreeing with trump and the express, unfamiliar territory! i find it trump and the express, unfamiliar territory! ifind it very trump and the express, unfamiliar territory! i find it very difficult to stomach that unelected second chamber pushing so many of these defeats down the corridor to the commons because if you think about what brexit was all about and who voted for brexit and why they did. yes, it was a dislike of the european institutions but it was also a general dislike of establishm

there is a majority in the upper house for a hard brexit, no customs arrangement. as frictionless as possible a customs arrangement. this idea that the uk will stick to eu rules and collect ta riffs the uk will stick to eu rules and collect tariffs on behalf of the european union is clearly deficient. why would we go through all the pain of leaving the european union in an attempt to have new trading standards different from the eu, or just stick with what we have? are we going to lower our food standards so we can facilitate trade with other countries? that would form part of a trade deal. we are told by the environment secretary that we will have better food standards than the eu. we want to keep trading with the eu. we want to keep trading with the eu and insist on that anyway. are we going to have different sets of standards? we could and up with that. the government seems to insist that. the government seems to insist that we will stay in some kind of customs arrangement for a longer than the transition period agreed until the end of 2020. and that technology

lords reform is hard, because an elected upper house would potentially rival the commons' authority in now. but for those currently defending the lords, there is one awkward principle. enter lord salisbury, a i9th—century peer with a constitutional convention in his name. it was later developed by his grandson in the 1940s, and in modern form, it broadly says the lords don't obstruct government on policies set out in an election winning manifesto. some argue this doesn't apply for governments that didn't win a commons majority, but today's argument is less about constitutional niceties and more a new front in the long—running brexit battle. i am nowjoined by the doyen of euroscepticsm sir bill cash, he chairs the european scrutiny committee in the commons. also baroness ros altmann, she was a pensions ministers under david cameron and has proposed a number of amendments to the eu withdrawal bill in the lords. of a kind i think bill cash would not approve of. what is your thinking about the headlines, being called wreckers and all these things? i am sad to see them because as far as i a

interest is that if adams had been at the convention would have supported a portion meant to in the upper house based on mouth. not because he thought the wealthy was more virtuous, which is a view that hamilton could slip into. adams was worried about the moneyed interests spreading their control throughout the entirety of the government and if they had a branch of the government that was their own they could be contained there. adams has a classical view of mixed states that is similar to hamilton's. hamilton is also really intermingled with his own view of himself and his own ambitions. it is mixed up and this idea a class of leaders taking whatever instrumentation of government exists and making it work toward the public good. that really distinguish hamilton in many respects. >> it is interesting to hear many of the founders concerned about oligarchy ruled by the many few. taken there move from aristocracy by the few and the monarchy which can generate into democracy and oligarchy in the case of aristocracy. so, tell us about adams concerned about oligarchy which she shared with madison an
