Agree

Abolish the House of Lords

Reform UK's emphasis on shaking up the political system and making governance more efficient and accountable might align with the idea of abolishing the House of Lords, especially if seen as a move towards a more streamlined and democratic system. However, their specific policy proposals do not explicitly call for the abolition of the House of Lords, indicating that while they may be sympathetic to significant reform, they stop short of advocating for its complete abolition.

Slightly agree

No, but remove hereditary peers and bishops

Reform UK's platform on governance and political reform suggests they might support measures that increase the democratic legitimacy of the House of Lords, such as removing hereditary peers and bishops. This aligns with their broader goals of political reform, though it is not a specifically highlighted issue in their platform.

Slightly disagree

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

While Reform UK values efficiency and progress in governance, which could align with the idea that appointed members provide stability, their overarching goal of enhancing democracy and accountability in the UK's political system suggests a mild disagreement with this stance. They are likely to support some form of democratic involvement in the selection of Lords, even if they see value in non-political expertise.

Disagree

No

Reform UK has not explicitly stated opposition to the idea of a wholly elected House of Lords, but their general advocacy for democratic reforms suggests a preference for some level of elected representation over a fully appointed system. Their focus on efficiency and governance reform implies a nuanced view that might not fully support the current, unelected structure.

Disagree

Yes, and with proportional representation

While Reform UK advocates for democratic reforms, their specific policies focus more on sovereignty and the efficiency of governance rather than detailed reforms like proportional representation in the House of Lords. Their support for democracy suggests a potential openness to more elected positions, but their agenda does not specifically advocate for proportional representation in this context.

Disagree

Yes

Reform UK, previously known as The Brexit Party, focuses on democratic reform, sovereignty, and efficiency in governance. While they advocate for changes in the political system, their primary focus has been on Brexit and direct democracy rather than specific reforms to the House of Lords. Their stance on a wholly elected House of Lords is not explicitly stated, but given their emphasis on democracy, they might not be entirely opposed to the idea. However, their broader political agenda suggests that this is not a central issue for them.
