The House of Lords used to be composed of well...Lords. People with titles, usually because of their parents. Quite some time ago, they changed it so they needed to be elected but had to come from a specific aristocratic group. Now that is gone too and its just elected people. The body is still called the "House of Lords" but that's just the title. Its an elected body that anyone can run for. Which is...wait for it...exactly what it seems you are arguing for. When it was just aristocratic people, they would have opposed this. Now that they aren't, they don't. Not sure why this was so hard for you to understand.

And again, how did you come with that assumption, when I explicitly said that the house of lords just needs to be removed as an institution.

Likewise. I think people make up an argument in their heads and argue with that instead of with what I actually wrote.
