Closed Abolish hereditary peer-ships in the House Of Lords

Closed on

I call on the goverment to abolish hereditary peer-ships and to replace them with induviduals who have earned the respect and trust of the United Kingdom, rather than had it inferred on them by the achievments and virtues of their ancestors, or by the outdated ideas of a Christian Britain. Nepostism, corruption and religous favortism is not acceptable in our countries parliament. A cosmopolitan and vibrant country requires a similarly representative selection of lawmakers.
