Replace the House of Lords with a House of the People
Keir Starmer
We’re all surrounded by incredible people. Our communities are kind, brave, caring, wise, and hard-working. They hold society together. So WHY does our system look like this:
Aristocratic men with the right to rule us
Politicians with the least votes win power
The mega-rich pay to join the House of Lords for life?
People in Britain don’t trust politicians to do their job. Parliament can’t address the housing crisis, child poverty, climate breakdown, genocide in Gaza, or violent rioting.
The elites got us into this mess, but the people will get us out of it.
Replace the House of Lords with a House of the People.

Dear Keir Starmer,
The people want a genuine democracy where real people get the facts, discuss the issues, and have their say.
It’s time to shutter the House of Lords and replace it with a standing House of the People made from ordinary people who are randomly selected (like a jury) and demographically representative of the UK’s diversity (like a poll).
The People would be paid for their time, given transparent guidance from experts, and proudly create laws and policies that would make us safer, happier, and more successful.
Politicians have failed to address the crisis we’re facing. It’s time for ordinary people to step in and take back control.
