Closed petition Rename the 'House of Lords' to give it a gender neutral title.

Closed on

The House of Lords immortalises the idea that it is men who rule the country. In order to take a significant step towards an otherwise overlooked deficiency in political equality, we should retitle the House of Lords so as to retain gender neutrality - for instance, to the House of Peers.
