Good work, Mandy!

Continuing my occasional series on Peter Mandelson keeping his options open, from today's Queen's Speech:

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

Creates basis in law for Parliament to scrutinise treaties
("scrutinise" - not actually "vote on" or "reject" or anything). Ends the by-election of hereditary peers to sit in House of Lords. Provides for disqualification of peers convicted of serious offences or subject to a bankruptcy order. Allows peers to resign peerages. Repeals legislation limiting protests around Parliament. Generally extends to whole UK.

You could never execute Mandelson. Dark Lords are from another dimension.

I would like a career in Clinical Psychology, which is also somewhat medical and involves similar work experience.
