The House of Lords is a historically powerful body whose members traditionally consisted of hundreds of hereditary peers, whose titles passed from generation to generation. In 2014 Parliament passed the House of Lords Reform Act which allowed members to resign, be disqualified for non-attendance or be removed for receiving prison sentences of one year or more. Recent proposals to reform the house include making 240 of the 300 members elected by the public.

Yes, but reform it to a 2 senator per region system.
@4SNPK4B3yrs3Y
No. That said, the most important reform needed for the House of Lords is to remove the reserved seats for bishops.
@8QLTDW25yrs5Y
No, reform to proportional representation list using the voting share from the general election results.
@8RLJHRV4yrs4Y
No, and bring back heredity peerage
