Make a straightforward way for the public to remove a Lord of the House of Lords
Since the public cannot elect members of the House of Lords, at the very least they should have a means to remove Lords that are an affront to the public.
Only the House of Lords can suspend or remove a Lord from the revising House, and this is clearly unacceptable in a transparent democracy.
There are numerous petitions on websites to have members of the House of Lords removed from their appointment.
Yet none of them has any power at all, and none of them will achieve the removal of a member of the House of Lords whose behaviour is reprehensible to the electorate.
This is a glaring injustice in our system of Government and must be corrected.
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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure what you mean by "Make a straightforward way for the public to remove a Lord of the House of Lords".
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to replace the House of Lords with an elected chamber if that's something you would like to see happen.
