Labour’s plans for an elected upper chamber will not succeed without PR – LabourList
The announcement that Labour will, once again, seek to reform or replace the House of Lords is a welcome one. Although a similar commitment has appeared in one form or another within every manifesto since 2010, the fact that the party finally appears to be on the verge of taking power at the next general election will hopefully signify the end of one of the more directly undemocratic parts of the UK’s political system.
