No. Change it to a citizens chamber like jury service so everyone may get an opportunity to serve and see how the process works for a set term
@9J4828L1yr1Y
No, but the members shouldn't receive any extra funding compared to MP's and their expenses capped per annum.
@8TCKWD84yrs4Y
Replace with an elected upper chamber
@94576KW3yrs3Y
It should be an elected post not peerage as this is Not democratic
@935V6DFConservative3yrs3Y
Funding should be decreased. Benefits and Drawbacks to both
@8RQDCW74yrs4Y
No and the Lords Temporal should be entirely hereditary save for the Law Lords (who should be reinstated and the Supreme Court abolished.) I'd be willing to consider repealing the Tenures Abolition Act 1660.

No and the Lords Temporal should be entirely hereditary save for the Law Lords (who should be reinstated and the Supreme Court abolished.) I'd also be in favour of repealing the Tenures Abolition Act 1660.

- Abolish the existing House of Lords to Create the House of Academics, made up of the most highly accredited PHD recipients in fields such as, Economics, Politics, Medicine, Science etc. Make sure they are not allowed to act in favour of any political party
@98X6CXD2yrs2Y
Yes, and be replaced with an elected upper chamber of some sort.
It should be by appointment of the King.
@97TK58X2yrs2Y
Replace it with something more 'new'
@9CC99HF2yrs2Y
No, but it should experience some element of reform. It shouldn't be fully elected though.
