[quote]Prime Minister David Cameron has handed out peerages to 26 Conservatives including former foreign secretary William Hague.
Some 45 new peers have been appointed - despite criticism that there are too many already.
The majority of the new appointees are Tories, with the Lib Dems getting 11 and Labour eight.
Senior Labour figures to be elevated include David Blunkett, Alistair Darling and Tessa Jowell.[/quote]
Wow, regardless of what you think of them, it's a bit shocking that UKIP didn't get any peerages. Guess the Tories still want to ignore millions of the population.
EDIT: 4 million people voted for UKIP and they have 3 representatives in the house of lords. For comparison, the [I]Labour[/I] party, one of the two main parties, got only 5 million more votes.
