Hold a referendum on the abolition of the House of Lords

Petition Details

Fix the democratic deficit of Great Britain by offering a direct democratic choice on whether to retain a body of unelected political appointees who can interfere with and impede the work of elected MPs.

Additional Information

We believe the existence of the House of Lords is an assault on democracy, and a disgrace to this country. Unelected individuals, paid by the public, are enabled to interfere with and impede the work of elected representatives of the people.

The people must be offered a choice on whether to retain the Lords, or whether to abolish them absolutely, and the decision of the people on the matter must be final.
