Currently, there are about 800 members who are eligible to take part in the work of the House of Lords. The majority are life peers. Source:

Bearing in mind that the boundary review for
ELECTED representatives will endeavour to reduce the 650 MPs to a mere 600, I think this ratio is all wrong.
I don't agree with a House of Lords per se, I do agree that there needs to be a second chamber though. So, arguments for the abolition of the Lords aside, what do the forum members believe to be a better ratio?
