The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Members are appointed by either the monarch or the House of Lords Appointments Commission. The House of Lords reviews laws passed by the House of Commons and can delay their passage if deemed necessary.

Yes, but the problem with a two house electoral system is that it draws attention away from the house of commons. which needs reform I do think we need a scrutinisation committee that looks at leglilation. But I think the public as a whole are not informed enough about who can be selected to be there.
@9JYTJQ51yr1Y
No, but reform the House of Lords to be experts from industry and civil matters, remove political appointments, and remove life peerages.
@9GFCXC31yr1Y
Yes, reform it into a Senate with broadly the same constitutional functions and duties but with elected members.
@94CKMVN3yrs3Y
We need an elected Upper House along the lines of a Senate
@93T9XTTPlaid Cymru3yrs3Y
Yes and replaced with a proportionately elected chamber of review
no but the appointment system should be revised and it should remain a smaller house than the commons
No, it should be an elected senate.

No reform the House of Lords into a senate. 1 seat per current constituency area. Elected via FPTP. Addition members elected from several specialties / industry groups to allow for informed debates. Reform House of Commons to multi-seat constituency elected via PR-STV
@9B93HD22yrs2Y
