I, broadly, think the House of Lords is a good thing in principle. Having a board of experts who can trounce things like the Illegal Migration Bill's potential for human rights abuse is a good thing. FYI, the House of Lords can't reject the same bill more than three times, and can't reject a bill that calls an election, so its undemocraticness isn't as bad as you might assume. There are many issues with it but I don't think many of them are much worse than those that already exist with the House of Commons. (Lobbying: exists in both. Unelectedness: the first past the post system is pretty bad here too. Ability of unelected people to introduce bills: private members' bills exist too). All of these are problems I'd like solved but I wouldn't support removing the House of Lords.
