Ban party donors from Lords & eject donor peers (with possible reappointment)

Petition Details

The latest list of honours has provoked renewed concern about appointments to the House of Lords. We believe too many appointments are made after significant donations, which can appear improper even where it is not. The simplest solution is not to allow party donors to be appointed to the Lords.

Additional Information

There is too much concern that members of the Lords have been appointed because of donations.

The Lords are too important to allow any appearance of impropriety so should follow the precautionary principle by ejecting all peers who were appointed after a significant donation to the party of the day, and not allowing similar appointments in the future.
This should eliminate the concern entirely, and as a bonus would slim down the House, which many see as overstuffed.

Those ejected may be appointed again if the nation decides that they should be.
