Rejected petition the house of Lords should be an elected chamber

More details

How can Britian promote 'democracy' when our parliament consists of a wholly unelected chamber, i.e the house of Lords, who are purely selected individuals,and rather than reflecting our society, reflect the so called 'upper class',most of whom come from 'exceeding' backgrounds. Citizens should have a say in every political aspect including those who govern our country.
