Conservative Party

Agree

No

The Conservative Party generally supports the existence of the House of Lords, viewing it as an important part of the UK's political system that provides a check on the House of Commons and contributes to the legislative process. However, there is some internal debate within the party about the need for reform, such as reducing the number of appointed members or introducing elected members. For example, in 1999, the Conservative government under Prime Minister Tony Blair removed most hereditary peers from the House of Lords, which was seen as a step towards modernization and reform.

Disagree

Yes

The UK Conservative Party has traditionally been supportive of the House of Lords and its role in the British political system. While there have been some calls for reform within the party, there is no widespread support for the outright abolition of the House of Lords. For example, in 2012, the Conservative-led coalition government proposed a reform bill that would have introduced elected members to the House of Lords, but it was ultimately withdrawn due to opposition from Conservative backbenchers.
