What the petition asks
I believe is important to the evolution of our democracy. The House of Lords is in need of reform and I believe with the abolishing of the Lords and replacing with an elected body. It would allow the upper house to have a democratic and accountable right. Democray should reach the highest body.
Many organisation such as the Electrol Reform Society have published calling for reform I believe a petition shows who are in favour of reform to our out of date democracy. Major changes have been recorded for example Lords Reform in 1999 but there is a real need in the reformation posed by this petition.
