Petition Referendum on replacing the House of Lords with a fully elected upper house

The current House of Lords does not reflect the UK population and is currently non elected, this means they has the power to block legislation that could be beneficial for the UK, without actually being elected by any British citizens. Hold a referendum to see if Britons want an elected upper house

More details
