Rejected petition Time to scrap the unelected and outdated House of Lords.

The House of Lords is now the largest legislative body in the world after the Chinese People's Congress.

How can the UK fly the flag of democracy across the globe when we have a huge unelected body debating legislation?

Surely it is now time to scrap this outdated institution?
