Agree

Yes

The Labour Party has historically supported the idea of reforming the House of Lords, with some factions within the party advocating for its complete abolition in favor of a more democratic and representative system. For instance, under leaders like Jeremy Corbyn, the party has shown a strong inclination towards significant political reforms that include changing the structure and role of the House of Lords. However, the party's official stance has often been more focused on reform rather than outright abolition, reflecting a consensus towards modernization rather than elimination.

Disagree

No

While the Labour Party has not officially committed to the complete abolition of the House of Lords, it recognizes the value of a revising chamber but seeks significant reforms to make it more democratic and representative. The party's reluctance to fully endorse abolition without a clear plan for an alternative form of governance reflects a pragmatic approach to constitutional reform. Labour's focus has been more on how the House of Lords operates and its composition rather than its outright existence, advocating for changes such as the introduction of elected members to reduce the influence of appointed peers.

The UK Labour party is generally more in favour of reforming the House of Lords rather than maintaining the status quo. However, as mentioned earlier, not all members are in complete agreement on the issue, and some may be more inclined to keep the House of Lords in some form. The party's focus on creating a democratically elected second chamber suggests that they are more interested in changing the current system rather than preserving it as it is.
