New peers in the house

The 54 life peers announced by Downing Street today don't exactly come from all walks of life, though they do cover a broad political spectrum. Julian Fellowes, keen observer of aristocratic manners, should have few problems fitting in. Joining him on the Conservative benches are party donors such as multimillionaire car importer Robert Edmiston, and Stanley Fink, who is also the Tories' joint treasurer. Labour donor Sir Gulam Noon will also be taking ermine, as will broadcaster and campaigner Joan Bakewell and Gordon Brown adviser Stewart Wood. Do you approve of the choices? Who would you rather see appointed? Or perhaps you'd prefer it if the upper house of the UK parliament was entirely elected. What would your fantasy House of Lords look like?
