Rejected petition Replace the house of lords with a fully elected assembly

More details

The house of lords needs to be replaced with a fully elected body of representatives.
The fact that, in this day and age, we have unelected people, including some who hold the positions hereditarily, playing a role in running our country is an embarrassment.

Therefore if we are to continue to call ourselves a democracy we must reform the house of lords so that it is a fully elected body.
