Unelected peers are standing in the way of assisted dying - Yorkshire Post Letters

Re: Assisted dying. Once more we observe that the unelected, unelectable and hereditary peers in the House of Lords have successfully managed to subvert the legal desires of the majority of British people by using idiotic delaying tactics to prevent this humane and tender bill from becoming law.

Of course, if the present socialist cabinet, under the guidance of our glorious leader, Sir Keir Stamer, decided to respect the views of the democratically elected members of the House of Commons, then I am quite sure that they would be able to accommodate the bill and see that it was successfully passed in the Commons and put on the statute books by Christmas.

Unfortunately the lack of compassion and kindness seems to be prevalent in the present House of Lords.

I am appalled that anyone should oppose dying people being given a pain free and dignified death. Perhaps those opposing this bill do so because of their religious beliefs, but they will also unfortunately have to face dying and I hope it is not too painful an experience for those people either.

I despair of democracy.
