Question:

What are the Arguments against Electing members of the House of Lords

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-The Hereditary Peers - the most Undemocratic Features of the Lords, is largely gone from the Lords - less than 100 now. -Current Balancer of the Lords with no Majority proves to be a good Check on the Government. Elections can lead to a Majority leading to less of a Check -Elections may also get rid off the Wisdom, Experience, Independence and Thought of Peers. The Lords benefits from Ex-Ministers and Experts willing to stands up for Unpopular, but Worthwhile Proposals -The Lords may just go into Gridlock, as the Parliament Acts limits the Chamber's Powers is Unjustified if Elections were Introduced.
