REFORM THE HOUSE OF LORDS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to stop adding people to the House of Lords and let the UK citizens have a say in a vote as to who goes in.
At the moment the House of Lords is voting against everything the people voted for, they are hell bent on having everything their own way because the majority of them are remainders. This is not acceptable they are not representing the voters.
They should also not be paid for turning up and falling asleep. Anyone else who did that would be sacked on the spot
