Rejected petition Abolish the House of Lords in favour of an Elected House of representatives

In the 21st Century it seems as we have an outdated system of representation. The Governing of the UK needs to come into the 21st Century. The House of Lords as an Unelected body does not represent the will of the People

More details

The Governing Body of the United Kingdom needs to be updated to represent the will of the Electorate. Today there is an UNELECTED portion of the Government that does NOT represent the will of the Electorate. They have not declared their interests in the representation that they reserve. The House of Lords is outdated and needs to be replaced with a house of representatives elected by the voting public.
