I think reform is better than abolishment. Honestly, I think life peerages are a good idea because then you can stick to stuff without worrying about your career. I think they should be more appointed though based on merit and background, eg, former university and school principals, people in various other key private industries, nhs staff, policing, etc
Why target the Lords when the commons cause all the problems?
When the lord’s is working they do a pretty good job of holding the government In check, but that shouldn’t mean that heavy reform isn’t needed.

The Lords are a problem in itself. There are close links between Tory Chairmen, £3m and places in the Lords.
