In her case, baroness is the title she got when appointed to that house. She isn’t a hereditary baroness, which still exist.
The real problem with the House of Lords is that it’s packed with political appointees - like Meyer - and quite a few were appointed after losing their elected position in disgrace.
A majority of people want away with it, just not the people in power. A law getting rid of the house of lords would have to go through, you guessed it, the house of lords.
eh, every time there’s a referendum it gets plurality of support. A bunch of people like the pomp and circumstance. And although I disagre I can understand.
Its also the cost. It would leave us with the same politicians with the same power.
So involves lots of changing of the way our system functions with little real benifit.
Unlike above syggest HOL dose not have the power to stop it. Only delay now. But every law we have is based ob a constitution that passes piwer from the king to parliment.
So for a majority to form. An actual replacemnt needs to be agreed. And thats even harder to work out.
