Giving the British people the right to remove members of the Lords by petition.

What the petition asks
I want to start this petition because some of the unelected members of the Lords are ignoring the will of the British people and acting in their own interests. There is no participation by the British people in who is appointed to the Lords. In a real democracy there should be a way to remove them .
I help run a large Community Hall and a significant number of the membership when asked about the interference of the Lords into the EU referendum cannot understand why they are not answerable to anyone.
