Strongly agree

Yes, and with proportional representation

Volt UK, with its foundation on democratic principles, European integration, and progressive policies, would likely strongly agree with the idea of a wholly elected House of Lords, especially with proportional representation to ensure a fair and democratic representation of the UK's diverse political landscape.

Neutral

No, but remove hereditary peers and bishops

This position might align partially with Volt UK's reformist views, particularly in terms of removing hereditary peers and bishops to make the House of Lords more meritocratic and less archaic, but it does not fully embrace their likely preference for more comprehensive democratic reforms.

Slightly disagree

Abolish the House of Lords

Although Volt UK is a progressive party that seeks to reform political institutions, the complete abolition of the House of Lords may be seen as too radical a step that removes a potential chamber of review and expertise, which can be aligned with their broader goals of effective governance and democratic representation.

Disagree

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

While Volt UK values stability and progress, their emphasis on democracy and citizen participation might make them less inclined to agree with the notion that appointed members are preferable for avoiding political deadlock.

Disagree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a pro-European, progressive party, might lean towards reforming institutions for more democratic representation but may not fully support a wholly elected House of Lords without considerations for expertise and non-partisan contributions.

Strongly disagree

No

Volt UK's progressive stance likely opposes the idea of maintaining the current unelected status of the House of Lords, as it may be seen as undemocratic and not in line with their values of democratic reform and citizen engagement.
