    HoC(elected) proposes legislation. HoL(unelected) amends it.

    In Europe the equivalent bodies do the opposite.

    I assume this is why the pension age will continue to rise so that more and more people still pay into the system rather than draining it

    or realising its the natural way of things now and we need to plan for it rather than ripping the young from less fortunate cultures to wipe our arses.

    I have made a few suggestions earlier. Of course we don't know unless you are a Bremainer in which case we will all be eaten by giant spiders or caterpillars.

    Japan is the obvious case

    Who will look after Japan's elderly? - BBC News

    however that is probably why they are investing robotics so heavily, their care givers will run on batteries.

    Wages will rise or costs fall as there will be fewer of working age. Mechanisation will become more common.

    "Diabetics are banned from driving" - not currently being enforced, but watch out !

    Back in late 2011 before DC became EU radicalised..
    "What has an EU directive on whether people with diabetes should be allowed to drive have
    to do with the single market, asked David Cameron in a pop at Brussels in his
    speech to the Tory party conference on Wednesday"

    You are the one advocating meddling, however if we look at the Boomer generation before mass immigration (note the 60->90s was a small fraction of current migration.) they seemed to do quite well.
