Essay / Reform of the House of Lords - 1049
Reform of the House of Lords has been discussed for a very long time, it has been over 100 years since the parliamentary law was passed. In 1910 the House of Lords exploded in anger when Peers refused the Liberal government's budget. According to the timeline of the reform of the House of Lords, the first reform took place in 1911 and 1949, during which laws were introduced that significantly reduced the powers of the House of Lords. The second reading of the reform bill in the House of Lords took place on 9 July 2012. 100 Conservative MPs were unhappy with the bill. They said it would end up creating greater friction between the changed House of Lords and the Commons. Reform of the House of Lords would solve some problems as well as raise some. If the House of Lords is reformed so that there is a 50/50 split between appointed and elected peers, the 50 elected peers would present an element of democracy in the House.

Reforming the House of Lords would solve more problems due to the fact that it would make the house more representative. Ethnic minorities currently make up a small percentage within the house. In addition, they are little women at home, so having more women who know what real life is and who...... middle of paper ...... rm the House of Lords would solve more problems than it would cause. in the sense that the goal is to make the house more representative and reduce the amount of money spent on meals, accommodation and the money that peers receive every time they sit in the house . The system will be bicameral, similar to that of the United States, and the parliament will be more democratic. There may be lifelong peers who want to resign but cannot, so reforming the house would give the opportunity to those who are ready to resign because they are tired and want to rest, they might be tired of doing the same thing all their lives. , and after the reform, when a peer does not do the job as it should, he can be expelled. The House of Commons would share all responsibilities with the Lords since they don't have much time now that they are the only elected officials..
