We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to abolish the House of Lords and introduce a fully-elected second chamber. More details

More details from petition creator
The House of Lords is an affront to modern democracy. The wealth, gender, and age profile of its members is highly unrepresentative. Proposals which retain a large number of appointed members must be rejected as they would be undemocratic and open to corruption.
