Question

write a short note on the demerits of house of lords in uk constitution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Boris Johnson is planning a radical overhaul of the House of Lords as part of sweeping constitutional changes aimed at strengthening the UK and its union.

Aides to the prime minister are discussing whether the Lords should be an elected house, in a bid to give the UK’s constituent nations a greater say at Westminster.

The government will set up a “commission on the constitution” to look at possible reforms – including the role of the upper house – and it is expected to produce a report within a year.

Lord Strathclyde, a former Conservative leader in the Lords, told the Financial Times: “We need a stronger, more responsible second chamber, more directly accountable to people. There are many ideas as to how that could happen.”
