Maybe the same could be done for the House of Commons.
Why are there still hereditary peers lol, why must all reforms in this country move at a glacial pace
not sure i’m 100% on board – presumably some in the house of lords would have fairly narrow domain of expertise and so might only turn up occasionally, but on those occasions their insight would be valuable (and believe they’re only compensated when they do turn up so it’s not like that’s a drain)
Just abolish the entire thing.
Since the Parliaments Acts of 1911 and 1949, it hasn’t had the power to DO anything. All it can go is send stuff back to the Commons, who then force it through anyways.
As such, it’s become a dead end, obsolete body. The final reward for cronyism, nepotism and corruption. A life peerage and free money forever without having the power to do anything.
Get rid of it entirely.
Replace it with a modern committee system, with each act being scrutinized by an ad-hoc committee.
These committees will be formed of legal experts, representatives from any relevant industries, worker’s union reps, perhaps charity or scientific advisors if applicable and a jury of lay people from the public. Give these committees the power to insert amendments or to reject a Bill entirely then let the Commons re-work it and resubmit to committee.
This way we also give business a direct input so we can then make lobbying illegal. Any attempts at lobbying will result in your organisation being banned from committee.
