Rejected petition Review the powers of The House of Lords & the inclusion of Bishops of the Church of England

More details

The House of Lords is the second chamber of the UK Parliament.

They are unelected by the public and therefore I suggest that they should not have any responsibility with regards to the task of making and shaping the laws of the United Kingdom.

I also propose that the 26 bishops of the established Church of England who serve in the House of Lords should be removed in the best interest of the future of a multicultural state.
