No, but it should be elected and no political donors should have a seat. In aid of ending corruption and getting back to true democracy
@9NTYNCF10mos10MO
Replaced with an upper chamber of appointees from a pool of applying candidates selected according to merit and talent, not as political appointees or temporal/spiritual peers.

The entire system needs to be modified and reformed, but with the rest of the system as it currently stands we need to keep the House of Lords to filter out some of the worse commons legislation
Yes, but be replaced with a elected high house that represents county level constituents. There also needs to be maximum terms, to prevent a US style system whereby people are senators for 40 years.

Hereditary Peers should be abolished, but experts in their fields should not.
@8Y5JGVH3yrs3Y
Yes as it has become outdated and corrupt.
@8WXHN683yrs3Y
Straight PR based on the general election vote.
