Unrepresentative. Unelected. Unfair. The House of Lords is a private club for the privileged few, and it needs reforming. Add your name to demand change

In the UK, befriending politicians or being born into a certain family can get you a seat in the House of Lords – but being elected by the people can’t. It should be called the House of Privilege.

This outdated, grubby giveaway system has left 800 out-of-touch ‘Lords’ free to make decisions that affect us all. But they don’t represent any of us.

Many are just from London. 72% are male. 100% are unelected. It’s as outrageous as it is unfair.

We can’t let them continue to shape the laws of everyday people any longer. Add your name to demand a smaller, elected second chamber that represents the entire country, not the privileged elite >>

Privilege and politics should NOT go hand in hand
