Isn't one Elected House enough for you? Especially with a Government with such a huge majority. Would you really want another house, divided along the same party lines just to rubber stamp Government Policy.

Well, just about every country in the EU has managed to ensure that this does not happen - I don't see why the UK couldn't do the same. There are lots of ways that it can be done, from differing constituency boundaries to fixed term elections for both houses and so.
As for the article, that only proves the need for two houses - it doesn't provide arguments for the need for an unelected rather than elected upper house.
