Rejected petition TELL US (that's what we want doing) why members of the House of Lords can remain unsackable.

Every day we hear more compelling evidence that more and more members of the House of Lords are embroiled in wrong doing of a moral sort or an illegal sort. 'Cover Up House' is becoming a more fitting name for the place. It cannot, therefore, be right that these people are above the law and cannot be sacked or removed from the House of Lords REGARDLESS. THIS IS STILL A DEMOCRACY (despite the efforts of Nick Clegg) AND THE PEOPLE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THE PROCEEDS OF THE PEOPLE'S WORK THROUGH THE TAXES THEY ARE OBLIGED TO PAY OVER TO THEM. If it needs a change in the law then that should be made to happen by the fastest possible means - our political undesirables have demonstrated that they can introduce laws quickly, look at the Iraq war AND the Afghanistan debacle.
