Important:
This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Abolish the House of Lords & replace with an elected second chamber.
The Lords are trying to thwart the democratic Brexit vote, most of them are paid 300 GBP a day of tax payers money to do almost nothing, are completely un-elected, and many are funded by the EU.
We need an elected 2nd chamber, with no links to the EU.
