Colin asks about UKpopdems policy for The House of Lords

Thanks, Colin. The qualty of legislation is getting poorer and peoples' lives and freedoms are being constrained. The Lords is all we have in the current system to protect the rest of us from the worst excesses of bad government. We want to strengthen the Lords and fill it with the very best men and women Britain can find. We'll make peerages harder to get and independently nominated and decided. No more political hacks, or peerages bought for cash, or 'instant' elevations. The Lords will be majority elected, and when bills are rejected they will go to the people to decide, rather than allowing government to push bad policy through regardless.
