    We got rid of almost all of the hereditary ones, I think we are down to 90 out of ~800. So while they are not all gone it’s getting better, now we just need to sort out the “cash for peerage” lords. Having a second chamber to sanity check the parliament is not a bad idea, as long as they are genuine experts granted peerage after a lifetime of service to the country or their field.
