Rejected petition Make the House of Lords a voluntary organisation. Save millions of tax pounds

The tax payer suffers a heavy burden maintaining all these government positions. It's now time for these members to give their time back to the country.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We are not sure what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do. Not all Members of the House of Lords receive a salary and not all positions in the House of Lords are government positions: http://www.parliament.uk/about/mps-and-lords/about-lords/lords-allowances/

You could start a new petition explaining more clearly what you would like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
