A call to dismantle the House of Lords, challenging its role in modern governance and advocating for a more democratic system
"This House Proposes the Abolition of the House of Lords":
This debate explores whether the United Kingdom should abolish the House of Lords, challenging its relevance and effectiveness in modern governance.
Advocates argue that the unelected chamber undermines democracy, perpetuates elitism, and lacks accountability.
Critics claim it serves a vital role as an independent revising chamber that safeguards legislative scrutiny and expertise.
The motion invites participants to examine the balance between tradition and progress, the merits of democratic reform, and the potential implications of dismantling one of the oldest parliamentary institutions in the world.
