I'm not sure about electing it either. I think removing life peers is fine. Rather than age limits I think replacing ⅓ of it every 7yrs (or some number that isn't 5) would remove those who are over the hill.

You'd have to have a way of encouraging "experts" to take a 7-10year hiatus from being experts in their profession though.

Also a way of deciding who nominates people? A government would load it with cronies any party would, even making it % based from the parliament of the day would have issues.

Glad I'm not the only one with concerns about this. Will be interesting to see labour plans

14yrs.

You'd only change one third every 7yrs. That way you maintain continuity.

I assume it would be a lot like now where it's something you do at the end of your career after a lifetime of experience and service.
