Redefine the role of the unelected House of Lords to comment and opinion only.
People vote and elect their representatives. The expectation is that they will follow a party line or present a majority view of their own electors. The unelected Lords has no such mandate from the people and should not have their present powers to change Bills etc already approved by the Commons.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you mean by "comment and opinion only". You could start a new petition explaining clearly how you would like the role and powers of the House of Lords to be changed.
