Slugging it out with Ayling

Gavin Ayling, fellow Witanagemot Blogger and CEP member, is supporting the Elect the Lords campaign. I, on the other hand, am most certainly not.

So, in accordance with the finest of English traditions, it's pistols at dawn. Ok, well Wednesday evening and there won't actually be any guns involved and nobody is going to get hurt ... except for RSI perhaps.

What we are going to do is put our respective arguments - Gavin's for an elected House of Lords and mine for a return to hereditary peers - into something approaching a coherent argument and then slug it out in the blogosphere.

If anyone can think of an easy way of sharing comments then please let me know. Unfortunately, we don't both use Haloscan for comments so no easy fix there.
