Not so. The House of Lods was an affont to the British people. Stopping

One advantage the hereditary

justification or opposition to something
wasn't based upon trying to
extend their own political career,

BALLS!!! They were attempting to keep their wealth and the history of UK
politic clearly indicates this. Read some history, especially the Irish
famine and the enclosures in England and the Clearing of the crofts in
Scotland. They were a self interest group, nothing more and collectively
have successfully hung onto their wealth over the centuries. No other major
western nation had such a ridiculous system. You obviously sucked in the
propaganda.
