Thai_Minister_attacks_Queen_Elizabeth_II

Jonathan Head of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was the presenter for this media den of anarchy and Lese Majeste. \n\nJonathan Head:\nHa ha. Do you have any other questions? If you\'re bold enough to come up. Please. Could you identify yourself as well?\n\nColin Snow:\nThank you, Jonathan. Colin Snow, member of the club. First time actually standing up here. \n\nWe\'ve heard quite a lot of comments about the patronage system and whether it\'s a good thing or not here. It occurs to me though that in the United Kingdom which is sometimes described as being the home of democracy, the upper house, which is the House of Lords, is entirely appointed by the monarch.\n\nThis has gone back over many, many years now, many centuries in fact. We have the hereditary peers who in some cases have got titles going back for in some cases for several hundred years. \n\nWe have people appointed as lifetime peers but that is the upper house of the United Kingdom. It is also of course the highest court of the land if you really have a big problem you\'re entitled to go to the House of Lords, perhaps you could comment on why the patronage system is not successful?\n\nJonathan Head:\nWould Thailand borrow anything from, I don\'t expect you\'d want to borrow from Britain. Is there a comparison between, we have an unelected an upper house in Britain. I\'m not sure what you\'ve got in Thailand.\n\nJakrapop:\nWell I don\'t know to answer that exactly but my knowledge about the British system is why watching the movie \"the Queen\". \n\nSo I don\'t actually know .. \n\nbut they saw how the Queen transformed with the Tony Blair\'s popularity. \n\nShe adjust and that\'s a good lesson. \n\nBut I don\'t know but how some Lords or the upper house in Britain \n\nbut I believe that they don\'t give them too much power and they learn their place.,\n\nthey know that they are noble so they do nothing dirty, that\'s what I think.\n\nAjarn Worapol:\nVery short answer, you have to look at your constitution, look at the extent of power of the House of Lord and House of Common, you will see that\n\nColin Snow:\nPoint of order Mr chairman , we don\'t have constitution.\n\nAjarn Worapol:\nYes, thank you but the point is that they extend the power of House of Lord may or may not equal to the extent of power of Senate here because Senate here can remove Prime Minister from post.\n\nJonathan Head:\nWhich actually can never happen with the House of Lords, or never has, any other questions?\n\nJakrapop:\nExcuse me, could any one answer me how many members do you have in the House of Lords as supposed to the House of Representatives? Do you know any, I means just .... I don\'t know about it. Do they have equal numbers, the 2 Houses?\n\nJonathan Head:\nNo eh it\'s about between 2 and 300 in the House of Lords, \n\nJakrapop:\nOh
