Reform it to be more like a Federal Senate, with both appointments and elected positions, plus restore certain pre-1999 elements like Law Lords and bring back more Hereditary Peers in addition.
Yes, but it should be a similar system to how the American House of Representatives and Senate function.
@9JXSGDT1yr1Y
No, it should be reformed to exclude all hereditary peers, clergy and political appointees and only include members elected by professional associations, trade unions and research institutions, and given more powers.
@93V57P73yrs3Y
No, but clamp down on peerages
@92VG2ZR3yrs3Y
It should instead be reformed into a more democratic body with no hereditary peers
Change the election process for it
@8XM2LKGLiberal Democrat3yrs3Y
Should be reformed to be elected but not abolished
@8XLR6R73yrs3Y
No it should be reformed instead
@8W8MXKQ3yrs3Y
Yes, replaced with an elected second House
@8TNHLQBConservative4yrs4Y
It should be turned into an electable senate. Each county elects 1 or 2 senators to go to the house of lords.
@9BF9HCP2yrs2Y
Maybe because all they do is delay and initiate. Instead of them, give out power to the people.
@99V9FHQ2yrs2Y
changed or updated, so seats areent given out the way they currently are.
