Closed petition Abolish the House of Lords
Closed on
To close down the House of Lords - it has no part in a democracy.
The House of Lords is an unelected body which interferes with the elected Government's agenda and causes unnecessary delay in the creation of laws - we do not need a second elected chamber to cause stalemate as elsewhere.
