Rejected petition Reform the House of Lords so that it is elected via proportional representation.

The unelected House of Lords may well hold members of expertise, however we believe that it should be elected.

We believe that the most suitable system of voting would be proportional representation.

Serious reform is needed to ensure that the people are better represented in the Upper House.
