Norway to have single chamber parliament

Dear Julie please note that Norway is to have single chamber parliament
Norway is set to be the last of the Nordic countries to abandon a bicameral parliament. The division of parliament into two houses, the smaller Lagtinget and the larger Odelstinget, will end in October 2009. MPs voted in favour of the reform earlier this week. 22-02-2007 - Perhaps you could suggest this brilliant solution and bring an end to peerages for dosh for ever and enhance democracy at the same time.

All the other Nordic countries have directly elected unicameral parliaments. Sweden adopted the unicameral approach in 1971, Denmark in 1953, Finland in 1906 and the unicameral parliament in Iceland has taken the same form for more than 150 years.
