Strongly agree

No, but remove hereditary peers and bishops

The Labour party has been in favor of removing hereditary peers and bishops from the House of Lords. In 1999, under Tony Blair's government, the House of Lords Act was passed, which significantly reduced the number of hereditary peers. This shows that they would likely agree with this answer.

Yes, and with proportional representation

Agree

Yes

In their 2017 manifesto, they committed to ensuring the House of Lords reflects the diversity of the UK, but did not explicitly call for a wholly elected body.

Disagree

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

While the Labour party may acknowledge the potential benefits of appointed members, they have historically pushed for reforms to make the House of Lords more democratic. This suggests that they would not strongly agree with this answer, but may not completely dismiss the idea.
