Yeah but have the freedom to virtually say and do as you want, turn up when you want etc.
Imagine, Nadine turns up, attends a few minutes of the session, Kerching!, now it's time to hit the subsidised bar, where she won't spend anywhere near as much as the attendance allowance. So she's had a few, time to go track down a couple of journos and spout shite in the hope of remaining in the news, the more shocking the better. Back to the bar..... Then on top of her Lords attendance allowance, she'll also be getting approx 50% (a tad under) of her final MPs Salary because of her 18 years as an MP as her MPs pension
All that with absolutely no responsibility to the electorate.
Who wouldn't want that?
