The House of Lords Reform

The House of Lords Reform refers to efforts to change the UK's upper chamber, the House of Lords, to improve its functioning and legitimacy. Traditionally, it has a mix of appointed and hereditary members, which has raised concerns about representativeness and accountability. Reforms aim to make it more democratic, such as by shifting to an elected chamber or reducing hereditary peers. These changes seek to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency, while maintaining the chamber's expertise. The debate involves balancing tradition with modern democratic principles to create a more legitimate and effective legislative body.
