House of Lords upholds 'democracy'

Democracy is more than just voting - it must also address the 'tyranny of the masses' and uphold a minimum set of human rights.
Strangely, the least democratic part of the UK parliamentary system is insisting that those human rights not be eroded, while the democraticly elected lower house tries to push through stupid legislation that lets politicians put people under house arrest with minimal evidence (less than 'balance of probabilities' which the Lords are asking for).
The lords have forced both houses to sit for more than 24 hours now, as they reject the government's bill again and again. Go the Lords I say!!!
What they want

• A sunset clause so that new, better legislation can be introduced. The government says this new legislation would be too rushed, but compared to the 2 weeks the house has had to contemplate the current bill this seems ridiculous
• The suspicion required to arrest someone increased (!) to 'the balance of probabilities'. F*ck me, how can you arrest someone for less?
• A judge to be involved in the arrest process
  They actually got this one

It still destroys the principle of Habeous Corpus (however you spell that) - ie where's the body ie where's the proof - and the separation of the three pillars of government - judiciary, executive and legislature.
The government has just come back offering to replace the current legislation in 1 years time, but to not put in a sunset clause. WHAT's THE DIFFERENCE. They just can't back down, probably because they know they are wrong. Get over it and admit the legislation youtried to put through was a pile of crap and let the lords fix it.
