Abolish the House of Lords

What the petition asks
We believe the House of Lords should be abolished, and replaced with a elected Senate, which will use Proportional Representation (PR) as its system for electing members.
We believe the government shouldn't have the right to appoint people to have a permanent seat in the UK legislature and especially one without any term limit. We think only the people of the United Kingdom should have the right to appoint people to the legislature.
