That's irrelevant though really isn't it, especially as there is a convention in place which says the Lords must respect the will of the Commons on important matters.
The point remains that a) it's completely unelected and you become a member either through accident of birth or political appointment and b) there is a built in majority for a single party. It should be abolished and replaced with an elected chamber, one that uses proportional representation to elect members.

Never mind the unelected upper house with a permanent Tory majority.
