The Lords

The main thing is that the Lords should stay as a part of the political system, because it has the ability to work. Just not with the hereditary peers. I think the Lords should be the opposite result to a general election. For example, if Labour win an election, then the second placed party gets the majority of the seats in the Lords, equal to what Labour would get in the Commons. An idea instead of that would be that the members of each party have an equal voice in the Lords. So for example, Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Demorcrats and others all would get an equal percentage of seats, depending on how many parties have made it to the commons. Even if a party only has one candidate in the commons, they would have as many members in the lords as the winning party. If a party isn't elected into the commons then they wouldn't make it into the lords.My final alternative is that there is no party representation what so ever. The Lords would be professionals of certain fields of the smartist and influencial minds and personalities in the country. Maybe even foreign candidates could be offered the job. That's another thing, the jobs have to be offered by the executive. Not nesacaraly the Prime Minister, but the government at the time should have the power to choose.My last idea for the Lords is that there should either be equal representation of religious voices in the Lords or none at all. It isn't fair that in an unelected system of government that there is only a voice for christians. There should be a head of the country from every religion in the UK so that every religion has a say. If that is too radical for this government system then I think that there should be no representation at all.
