Power2010 turns its sights on the Lords

We’ve covered before how Power2010 is pushing for a set of political reforms and targeting specific MPs who have abused the system. Now it’s the House of Lords that is getting its specific attention, with a petition for a fully elected upper house.

You can find out more about the campaign and sign the petition over on the Power2010 site.
