Disagree

Abolish the House of Lords

The Liberal Democrats have not called for the outright abolition of the House of Lords. Instead, they have focused on reforming the chamber to make it more democratic and representative, while maintaining its role as a revising and scrutinizing body within the UK's parliamentary system.
