Rejected petition ABOLISH THE UNDEMOCRATIC HOUSE OF LORDS

The HOUSE OF LORDS is an UNDEMOCRATIC QUANGO.
It is now time that the House of Lords is abolished, and replaced by an elected by the people HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES to advise and where necessary keep the House of Commons in check.

More details

It is important that the leaders of this country respect the will of the people.
I propose the DISSOLUTION of the House of Lords in its present form, by the House of Commons, and to be replaced by an ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES not influenced by the House of Commons, nor filled by retired House of Commons MP's UNLESS ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE. The House of Lords wishes to overturn a referendum by the People, without having democratic legitimacy to their cause.
