Most Britons would support making the House of Lords fully elected | YouGov

Summary

Nutrition label

83% Informative

Only one in seven Britons have a positive view towards the House of Lords , with 55% in favour of an elected upper house.

Six in ten Britons ( 61% ) stand opposed to the Lords as it is today , with only one in five ( 22% ) opposing it.

A compromise position, whereby the chamber was partially elected and partially appointed, as per the abandoned reforms of the Conservative Lib Dem coalition, is more divisive than outright abolition.

Nonetheless, these doubts around the House of Lords do come with the caveat that few Britons feel they really understand what it is that the Lords does. Only 4% of Britons claim they have a lot of knowledge about how the Lords operates and what its role is, with this only widening to one in three Britons ( 32% ) when including those who say they have a fair amount’ of understanding about our upper house. Two-thirds of Britons ( 64% ) instead say they have not very much or no knowledge at all of how the House of Lords works..
