Neutral

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

UKIP's main political goals have been centered around Brexit and immigration control, rather than detailed reforms of parliamentary structures. There is no clear historical stance from UKIP that appointed members provide stability and progress, making their position neutral.

Disagree

Abolish the House of Lords

While UKIP advocates for significant changes in the UK's political landscape, there is no strong evidence that they support the complete abolition of the House of Lords. Their focus has been more on sovereignty and leaving the EU rather than on radical domestic institutional reform.

Strongly disagree
