An elected upper house should be instilled and hereditary peers or those with elitist connections should not be able to be appointed without some form of approval or vote through the people
@9XNFBPB5mos5MO
No, but it should be reformed. Members should be upholding citizens of society in professional fields.
@93Z29JHCount Binface3yrs3Y
No, but limit the qualifications of the House of Lords to Former MPs/PMs.
@8YFD5LF3yrs3Y
No, but they should remove hereditary peers and bishops as well as increasing the number of lords elected by the panel
@8VM65PF4yrs4Y
Make the House of Lords a partially elected body and remove the prime minister’s ability to effectively appoint peers (this just leads to cronyism).
Yes, but a different, elected, structure should be put in place to scrutinise laws.
@8S5JKDJ4yrs4Y
Either make the House of Lords a democratically elected body or abolish it
@8QGLP3F4yrs4Y
No, it should become an elected body instead.
@9BNDJWJ2yrs2Y
No, but reduce the amount of career politicians.
@96RBDH22yrs2Y
Yes, but with a more democratic system in place to keep government in check.
@8S4R5QP4yrs4Y
Only if it is not turned into or replaced with a democratically elected body
