Rejected petition Abolish the House of Lords.

The House of Lords used to be an independent chamber designed to oversee those who are directly elected.Many of the Lords are due to receive the combined sum of £10 million in pension funds from the EU. Therefore, the House of Lords is no longer independent. Let's fund our NHS instead.
