This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Replace the House of Lords with a New Elected House.
The House of Lords is a bloated, unaccountable, non-elected body who decide upon our laws without our consent. Populated by members elected by the Prime Minister of the time. It is now time to have a true democracy. Especially after Lord Sewel's disgraceful use of public money.
