Agree

No, appointed members provide stability and progress instead of political deadlock

The DUP might agree with this statement to some extent, as they have not been pushing for a wholly elected House of Lords. They may see the value in having appointed members who can provide stability and expertise, rather than risking political deadlock.

Agree

No

The DUP has not been particularly vocal about the composition of the House of Lords, but they have not pushed for a wholly elected body. Their focus has been more on Northern Ireland and the Union, so they may be more inclined to maintain the status quo.

Slightly agree

No, but remove hereditary peers and bishops

The DUP has not been particularly vocal about the composition of the House of Lords, but they may be open to the idea of removing hereditary peers and bishops. This would be a moderate reform that could potentially gain their support.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and with proportional representation

The DUP has not advocated for a wholly elected House of Lords with proportional representation. Their focus has been on issues related to Northern Ireland and the Union, so they are unlikely to strongly support this idea.

Very strongly disagree

Abolish the House of Lords

The DUP has not called for the abolition of the House of Lords. They have been more focused on issues related to Northern Ireland and the Union, and the House of Lords plays a role in the UK's political system that they would not want to see abolished.
