David Cameron’s Appointment to Cabinet 'Another Reminder Why the House of Lords Must Go'

Former Prime Minister David Cameron’s appointment as Foreign Secretary – despite having left Parliament in 2016 – has triggered fresh calls to abolish the House of Lords.

Cameron replaces James Cleverly, who has moved to ousted cabinet minister Suella Braverman’s former role of Home Secretary.

There is no constitutional requirement for a cabinet minister to be an elected MP, but it is very rare that senior offices of state are held by unelected politicians. Lobbyist Cameron has been handed a seat in the 800-odd member House of Lords for life to take up the role.

Today campaign group Republic demanded a written constitution and elected upper house following the move.

Republic’s CEO, Graham Smith, said: “This appointment joins a string of recent outrages that remind us of the urgent need to ditch the Lords in favour of an elected upper house.

Large #tax rises from #JeremyHunt ‘could put #UK at risk of deeper slowdown’ | #Economics | The Guardian

We had #Austerity under #DavidCameron and #GeorgeOsborne, followed by some political chaos under #TheresaMay and the egregious #BorisJohnson and it's about to get much much worse. I know that the #government is not immune to and, on the contrary, is rather prone to international conditions but I'm pretty sure the public have had enough. We must have a #GeneralElectionNow even if any incoming party will face the same problems. The #Tories have surely blown their cover as being fiscally competent.

What more is to be said about the #Tories? #DavidCameron's cavalier decision to hold a #referendum on the #UK's membership of the #EU so early after winning his first #GeneralElection outright, pissed it all up the wall in an act of what has been revealed to be unmitigated political hubris. It has eventually led to the destruction of the #Tories. If I'd known then that this would happen in a mere six years, I might also have voted to leave too. (Not really, I'm not that dumb.)
